Template Frustrations

[b_lwalker]

I'm trying to get the check-boxes to work in a custom template.

I've tried saving as one of the included templates and can get it to
work fine except:
1. The template size blows out to 13mb
2. I can't get the top and bottom margins to 'stick' (even though
when I 'open' the template for editing it appears correct, but when I
start a new one it reverts back to the normal standard).

I have another template that has exactly the same formatting that
appears just as I want it, but I can't get the check buttons to work,
even when I import the same module. It gives me an error: "Requested
member of the collection does not exist".

Any ideas?

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these. My guess is that you are missing AutoText entries but no one can
tell unless you put in the actual procedures that are not working to give
some idea of which collection the error message is talking about.
