Multiple List with Check Boxes
Would like to add a list with check boxes to a table in word. Users should be able to select more than one item from the List. Is this possible?
Jay_Cous To do it actually in the document, you would need to use an ActiveX ListBox that can be inserted via the Legacy Forms in the Controls section of the Developer tab of the ribbon.
with its ListStyle property set to 1 - frmListStyleOption and the MultiSelect property set to frmMultiSelectMulti.
However, depending upon what you want to do with the selected items, using an ActiveX checkbox will probably not be satisfactory and it will almost certainly be better to make use of a UserForm.
Hello Doug. Thanks for sending me that info. Think it will work. Could change the properties as per your screen shot however, I end up with a blank box. How do I put Items in that box? Thanks.
- How did you get Item 3, 4, 5, etc to appear in the box?
Jay_Cous Save the document as a Macro Enabled Template (*.dotm) and in the ThisDocument object, set up the following code
Private Sub Document_New()
Dim i As Long
With ListBox1
.Clear
For i = 1 To 10
.AddItem "Item " & i
Next i
End With
End Sub
