couple of questions regarding forms creation in words 2003

[fatchai]

hi guys :

got coupld of questions regarding form creation in MS words 03.

1. i need to add a "check box" to each selection in my forms

for example :
western food []
japanese food []
chinese food []
korean food []
vegetableian []

how can i limit the user to only make a single selection only ?

2. one of field in my forms is a date field and i would like to see a small calendar to pop-up when the user click on that field ? (the effect will be similar to outlook calendar one. when user click the start date, a small calendar will pop-up)

many thanks

Are you asking about userforms, or something in the document itself?

yes userforms.

It helps when you post to state these things.

OK, in that case, use Option buttons. Put them in a frame. Frames limit the selection to only one.

As for a calendar, there is a calendar control you can use on userforms.

Hi fatchai,

Another approach would be to put the options in a dropdown formfield. That way, it would be fairly obvious to your users that they could only choose one option.
