Placing a Tick in a box when Enter is hit

[Stephen]

Hi, I would like to place some boxes within a survey document and have then
either tick or cross (or Y or N) appear when the Enter key is hit (or Y/N
selected). Also for the cursor to go to the next box for selection after
the keystroke.

Can you please advise me how I can do this.

Thankyou

Stephen

Don't know of any way to do this. If you are using checkboxes from the forms
toolbar, they follow the Windows convention of checking / unchecking when
the spacebar is pressed.

There are a number of ways to handle checkboxes in documents / templates.
Take a look at the Checkbox template available at <URL:
