Word 2007 creating forms, creating a check box | Word forum

Hi Chau,

Thank you for your question.

You have created the check box correctly but may have set the restrictive settings for the document incorrectly.

Did you follow these steps to protect the document to allow the use of the check box:

After creating the check boxes ensure the Design Mode is turned off.

1. Go the the Developer tab and Protect group.
2. Choose Protect Document and then Restrict Formatting and Editing.
3. Tick the checkbox for number 2 and change the option in the combo box to Filling In Forms.
4. Then click Yes Start Enforcing Protection and enter a password.

The check boxes will now be active to click into.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards

Simon
