Hi Al, If all you need is to insert form fields for data whose value can only be true or false, it is not necessary to complicate your life with macros/VBA. A checkbox form field should be enough. Regarding the fact JM described you about form creation not being the same on newer versions of Word, it effectively reffers mostly to an accessibility consideration. In Word 2007 and later, Microsoft implemented a new thing called “content controls,” which have existing functionality of classic form fields but also include capabilities such as deletion when completed which make them suitable for templates and other content reutilization scenarios. The problem, as the Freedom Scientific tutorial for creating accessible forms in Word, is that those new content controls are not currently accessible with the keyboard. Fortunately Word still has the option, in the Developer tab together with the new content controls, a split button called “Legacy Control” which allows you to insert a form field like the ones available in Word 2003 and earlier, which are backward compatible and more accessible with the keyboard and JAWS.
