To get checkboxes like those in the built-in FAX templates, you do not use
the Forms toolbar because these are not online forms.
Use File => New until you can see the icon for one of the FAX templates.
Click on the "new template" option to create a new template based on the
built-in one. (Bottom right of dialog box)
Save this template, even though it may look nothing like what you want. It
has your checkboxes and all the components you'll need. These components
are: 2 AutoText Entries, 2 macros, and the checkboxes in your template.
These checkboxes are actually MacroButton fields. When you double-click on
one, it activates a macro that inserts the alternative (checked or
un-checked) macrobutton field in its place. These alternative fields are
kept in the AutoText. It is slick and works well but is a bit tough to build
from scratch.
Reformat your template to have whatever setup you want and move the
checkboxes to where you want them. Alternatively, copy the macros and
AutoText to your own template and insert the AutoText entries (unchecked
box, I think) where you want checkboxes.
You can add the following to an AutoNew and AutoOpen macro in your templates
if you want:
Options.ButtonFieldClicks = 1
This makes the checkboxes respond to a single rather than a double click.
(Actually it makes all macrobutton fields respond to one click.)
