Check Box Form Field Value in If Then Else Calculation

[Jan Pahls]

I would like to use the Checked/Unchecked value of a Check Box Form Field in
a Word protected form in a calculated field without having to use a macro,
but I can't figure out what to use as the value for the conditional
statement. Using Word 2003.

{IF {Check1} = (What do I put here) "Value if True" "Value if False"}

Jan:

I don't believe this can be done without VBA. If anyone knows a way, I hope
they post it. But AFAIK the Word GUI doesn't know whether or not a checkbox
is checked. In other words, there's no "value" you can test for that reflects
the state of the check box.

That's what I was figured, but I had to ask. I'm trying to avoid macros so I
can distribute a protected form without all the hassles involved with Macro
Security.
