    Use check boxes and add text when applicable (2010)

    Hello,

    I have a form that is used by many clinicians. The form includes checkboxes and areas that require text to be added if neccessary. I know that the form needs to be protected in order for the checkboxes to function properly. I also know how enable text to be added in selected areas on a protected sheet. However, I cannot figure out how to have workable checkboxes and editable areas for text to be added to happen at the same time. I have my form attached to give you a better idea of what I need. Thanks!

    Is there a reason for not using text formfields for the data to be typed into the form?

    Macropod,

    hmm, when I place a text formfield, let's say a plain text content box, into a section that I want to add text to, when I protect the sheet so that the check boxes work, the formfield no longer works. Am I doing something wrong, or is there a way to bypass protecting the sheet and still being able to use the check boxes?

    Ermahgerd! You were referring to something else entirely. Thank you! That works brilliantly.
