Hi,



I would like to program my Word form so when I select check boxes from a list of options, the names I assign to the check boxes auto-populate a text field. For example, if I have eight check boxes and I check boxes 2, 4, 6, and 8, I would want the numbers 2, 4, 6, and 8 to then appear automatically in an associated text field. Is this possible?



Thank you!
Karen

Yes, it is possible.

Are you using content controls for the check boxes? Are there other check boxes in other areas of the form that shouldn't be included in the macro?

Yes, I'm using content controls for the check boxes and the text field. I need to set up two separate sets of check boxes. One will be a group of approximately 20 boxes that will be for different organizational units. I want users to be able to select however many of these organizational units they need to, and when they click the check boxes, I want the names of those org units to appear in the text field. I want the same thing to happen with the second group of check boxes, which will be approximately 80 boxes that will represent different topics the form users can select. The topic names should appear in a second text field (not the same as the org units' text field) when a user clicks the check boxes.



There won't be other check boxes beyond these two groups.
