Word Check Box

[Irvin]

I inserted check boxes through the forms toolbar in MS Word XP. But to check the boxes, I need to double click it then click check on the properties page. I was wondering if there was a way to simplify this process. I was hoping just to click the box once and have the X appear. Is this possible

Thank

Irv

You must protect your document first ("Tools", "Protect Document", "For
Forms").

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.
