I have the following setup: Checkbox (Yes) Checkbox (No) A. Checkbox (.) B. Checkbox (.) C. Checkbox (.) D. Checkbox (.) I want to do the following: - Enable the Yes and No checkboxes always. The Text Box lets the form-filler type in their own answer. Click the Text Box option to insert a Text Box into your Word document. Double-click on this Text Box to control its options. For example, you could set a Maximum Length for the recipient’s answer. The Check Box lets you create a box that can be checked by the form-filler. Making a form in Word 2011 for Mac is as simple as choosing appropriate form controls from the Developer tab of the Ribbon in Office 2011 for Mac, placing them in your Word document, and then enabling your form by turning protection on. - Disable the A-D checkboxes as a default. If the No checkbox is selected (checked), keep them disabled. If the Yes checkbox is selected (checked), enable them so that the user can check one of them. Note: My document has a few of these 'questions'. Did google end support for google apps on mac. So, it may be a bit more tricky than meets the eye. Any suggestions? Also - I am using Word on both the Mac and Windows. If necessary, I will use a Windows solution. Mary, Interesting question and perfect timing. I just recently published an add-in for creating mutually exclusive option buttons in Word. It appears that it is really option buttons that you want. You want the user to be able to select either yes or no but not both and if yes is check then you want them to check A, B, C or D no? Using the following add-in you can create the two groups of option buttons. Assuming that you tag the Yes No group as 1 and the ABCD group as 2, then adding the following code in the document's ThisDocument module should give you the results you need: 'Add these lines immediately after the Dim bRecheck as Boolean statement in the Sub Document_ContentControlOnChange procedure. OK - need to revisit this. I am working with a 'template' document that users will be copying from a SharePoint site/location to a desired network/desktop location for modification and renaming according to the project being worked on. So, I cannot protect the entire document. Can I accomplish my goal with a user form within the document? Or should I be using Excel - in other words, is Excel the better solution? (With Visual Basic of course) I appreciate ANY suggestions. ![]() Especially because my contract is ending March 31st and I would like to resolve this. (I have been working on other items with respect to these 'templates'.) Kind regards, Mary P.S. I have been investigating how to create a userform within documents etc. And have not been able to find anything - perhaps I am not looking in the correct locations??? Thanks, Peter. If I code it in Windows-based (Microsoft Windows Parallels on my Mac) VB/Word 2010, can users use the code on the Mac side? If not, I can direct them to use it on the Windows side. Although not desirable. I actually had a document working with checkboxes, but it only contained sample text and was protected. Also, it did not contain the rest of the document in which the checkboxes etc. And, the check boxes (and sample text) were not in a user form. Any suggestions on including my scenario in a document? Thanks again, Mary Mary T.
