Checkboxes in Microsoft Word
« on: August 16, 2007, 02:41:46 AM »
I'm trying to create a form on a Word document which has both of the following features:
a) merged fields for name, address, etc. (from a database of clients)
b) a check list in which the user can click to put an X in the check box
 
I can do both of the above features independently, but not together.  According to the Microsoft help article (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/word/HA100307481033.aspxyou) I need to protect the form in order to activate the check boxes, and this protection prevents the merging of the name, address, etc. fields.  If the form is not protected, the check boxes don't work.
 
Any idea how I can achieve both features together?
