I am creating a form that uses the same information multiple times throughout
the lengthy form, such as customer information, phone, etc. I have set it up
so this information is repeated when needed by entering REF fields {REF
Text1} for the text. One of the items that is required throughout the form
is the "program' for which they are enrolled and I have inserted check boxs
next to the first mention of the program choices and I would like this
information to be repeated throughout the document. However, I tried to
repeat it the same way as the text {REF Check1}, but when I test this
application, nothing shows up in the cell. Make sense? Is there another way
to do this so that if "Program 1" is checked in the first place, "Program 1"
will automatically be checked throughout the form?

Download the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn it includes a
separate document that shows how to do what you want (a substitute for the
REF field for checkboxes).
