As for the checkboxes, I'm not suggesting a change in the document design - just in the way the checkboxes are checked/unchecked. Be that as it may, if you can't use content controls it's a moot point.

Ok, I thought you meant to use a dropdown (Combobox) to select from instead of several checkboxes. Have only looked into the Content Controls briefly so far, when I get time, I'll investigate more thoroughly.
I finished the coding, and it looks like everything is working properly! I still have the issue of how to best activate the macro (the MacroButton I added seems to require double clicking; I've thought about adding a button to the ribbon, or a menu item in 2003, but haven't looked into that just yet) and seeing if I can find a way to alert the user if their security settings are high enough to suppress all macros. I may put everything on an extra 'instructions' page before the cover page. There may be a few other small details I need to work out, but the basic functionallity is there.
I also need to get our company, or our client, to purchase a digital certificate so that I can digitally sign the macros. Never had to do this before, only tested with a self-sign certificate, which I can't distribute. Hopefully, this should help solve the security issues.
I can't thank you enough for your help, I'd still be tearing my hair out at this point without it.
