I have a Word document that has two separate tables. Table 1 (named Question1Table) has 8 individual check boxes (Legacy or ActiveX, could use any). I want to add up the total number of check boxes "Checked" in "Question1Table" and place the value of the total number of check boxes "Checked" into "Question1Table" in a different cell named (Question1Answer) e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4... 8 in"Question1Table".



Table 2 (named Question2Table) has 6 individual check boxes. I want to add up the total number of check boxes "Checked" in "Question2Table" and place the value of the total number of check boxes "Checked" in "Question2Table" into a different cell named (Question2Answer) e.g., 1, 2, 3... 6 in"Question2Table".

I have attempted several different way , but do not get it to work. Is there any guidance on the forum on how to do this or can anyone provide some assistance?

I recommend you use Content Controls for both the checkboxes and Total value. Use the Tag property to set the group for the totals.

Then use an OnExit macro to calculate the total and load it to the Total value.

Post a sample document set up that way if you can't work out how to code it.
