Again, the code assumes your final content control in the document will be a text content control where the results can be output.

There are advantages & disadvantages to each approach:

• formfields need to be tabbed out of to update, but content controls can use tabs or mouse selections.
• formfields require the macro to be attached to each checkbox's 'on exit' property, but content controls don't.
• formfields require 'filling in forms' document protection to work, but content controls don't. With 'filling in forms' document protection, only content in formfields & content controls is accessible for editing.
