check boxes

[SHARON]

I have a form in Word 07 with multiple check boxes.

I would like to check one box, and automatically have another check box get
a check, instead of manually checking the 2nd one, which leaves room for
human error. There are 2 instances of this on my form. Hope this make
sense.

For that you would need a macro run on exit from the first check box field
(here Check1) to set the value of the second (here Check2) as follows

If ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check1").CheckBox.Value = True Then
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = True
Else
ActiveDocument.FormFields("Check2").CheckBox.Value = False
End If

You'll need to use a macro. See

Hah! I'd forgotten that one - which is probably even simpler
