Print checked boxes and skip unchecked ones.

[ChiCheng]

I place a form (10 check boxes) in my document. Following
each check box, there is a short text. Is there a way to
only print the text that right after the check boxes I
checked and skip the ones I didn't? Say, I checked the 1st
& 8th boxes and on the printout I only got first and 8th
boxes & their text.

Hi ChiCheng,

This could be done using a macro (VBA). Your macro would,
essentially have to:
- unprotect the document
- cycle through the checkboxes, deleting the "lines"
(paragraphs, most likely; or table rows?) as required
- print
