Table as a check box.

[Sarah-loo]

Help I am going mad!! I have tried everything(I think) I am using a table box
as a check box to put a tick in with text in front, but it won't let me put
text in front, or behind. I have also tried text wrapping but it won't give
me the option in properties. if you can understand what I have written Please
Please help.

Frustratedly

Sarah

Sarah: What do you mean "in front"? I have a feeling you're using the
checkbox from the Control Toolbox, and you may want to be using the Forms
toolbar as indicated in this article:

Hi Anne
Many thanks for your quick reply. I'm not really sure what I am doing
either!!!!.
I am making out a registration form for people to fill in. I have put
options in where they have to tick a box next to the appropiate answer. all I
want is a box next to each question in a vertical row. It won't let me put
the boxes in after I have typed some text. I have even tried to put a text
box in but it still won't work.

Thanks

Sarah

1. How are you trying to place the boxes?
2. What KIND of boxes are you placing?
3. Did you check out the link to see if that's the kind of thing you want to
do?
4. Can you send your file to anne@ the website below my signature? Perhaps
we can handle this more quickly for you---sounds like it might be driving
you crazy.

Insert a column to the right to hold the checkboxes which I assume are being
inserted from the Forms toolbar (View>Toolbars and select the Forms item).
