Hi,

I'm using a MS Word 2003 to create a form with checkboxes.
The question is...how can I find in this document what checkboxes have been
checked (with the find feature)?

And how to find text inserted in text fields, since when I protect a form,
all these options of finding are disabled?

Is there a way with a macro in vba where I can save all the words I want
when the user checks the box and then turn it searchable some way?

I really hope someone can help me

Thanks in advance

Best regards

Yes, in Word 2003 VBA you can do this easily.

However, you are in the wrong forum: this is Mac Word. You need the Word
