Possible to put a frame in a table?

[Rosanne Ramos]

Hi Community,

I'm interested in putting a frame containing checkboxes into a table, but
i've read that this isn't possible. Does anyone know of any VB code I could
use that would allow me to "trick" Word into letting me put a frame in a
table?

None that I've ever seen. In this TechTrax article, you can see that
when I've needed to add framed checkboxes with a table, it's a tricky
business to format multiple tables and frames to get the look you
need.

However, unless you're creating exclusive checkboxes, you CAN just
drop the checkbox right into the table cell itself...but I'll guess
you may already know that fact and DO need the frame?

If that's the case, you'll need to get creative with your table/frame
formatting to get it right.

(Although I will also watch this thread to see if anyone DOES come up
with a trick...as I'd also love to know about it.)

Good luck...

Thank you Dian for your response! I'll definitely look at the article. Also,
Jezebel made a comment re: object model (I also posted this in the
Programming forum), so I'll look in that direction, too.
