Forms? Checkboxes? Gray Shading?
What have I got here? Some kind of a form -- it's got
checkboxes. If you click on one, you get a dialog box. They have gray shading. I want to keep the checkboxes, and I'd like a user to pick one and check it. But I don't want the dialog boxes or the gray shading. I'm dealing with something new -- for me. ;-) Using Word 2000 on XP Home. *(((({ |

Forms? Checkboxes? Gray Shading?
Looks like a checkbox from the forms toolbar. These are supposed to be used
with the document protected 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/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration of these. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/ which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Forms? Checkboxes? Gray Shading?
Display the Forms toolbar. Click the Form Field Shading button to turn off
the the shading and the Protect Form (padlock) button to lock the form. Then your checkbox should work as designed. -- Suzanne S.
