It is a checkbox project, but what I need is to be able to differentiate completed/uncompleted items by the paragraph background color and the bullet (empty vs. checked checkbox). My current technique, switching an item's style when completed, changes both the bullet and background color, something I can't do with actual checkbox controls. (Plus, editing lists is clumsy with actual checkboxes: you need to Ungroup the list, add your item and re-Group the list. And changing the background color based on that paragraph's associated checkbox status would require scripting.)

I think the simplest solution will be to bind two macros to the key combos I currently use to apply the Checkbox and Checkbox - done styles; the macros will record the current indent, set the style, and restore the indent.

Thanks for your help. Enjoy your day!
