>I want to the user to be able to select the checkbox without going into
the
>Checkbox Form Field Options; instead, I want the user to simply
single-click the
>checkbox.
Create the Form using the Form Field Options, then lock the form. The
user cannot change any of the text in the form, and can simply click the
checkbox on and off.
What will prevent your users from unlocking the form and changing
things? Nothing, except for the average Word user's ignorance of the
form locking process.
