Macro for selecting checkboxes

[Johnny Thunder]

Hello,


I was not sure if writing Macro's in Excel would be the same if I was to transfer it into Word 2003?

I need a macro to select checkboxes on a word doc. that I have. I can figure out how to get it to select the certain check box that I need selected I just don't know what the proper script is for selecting check boxes?

Any help would be appreciated! Thanks

Maybe post on ExcelFox.com - I think they have word forum as well as Excel

This seemed to work for me:

ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True

This is using a legacy checkbox. Couldn't figure out how to do an activex checkbox.

Oh wait, it's just:

ActiveDocument.CheckBox1.Value = True

Intellisense didn't seem to pick it up.
