I'm having some problems using the IF field in conjuction
with a checkbox form field. What I am tring to do is setup
a checkbox called usepgh001, that when checked, the IF
field would referance to a bookmark called pgh001. This is
what i have tried to do:

{ IF usepgh001 = U { REF pgh001 \* MERGEFORMAT }"" \*
MERGEFORMAT }

where i have typed in place of the U, True, "True", 1, X,
and other things.

I could not get this to work. Can anyone tell me why?
 
Hi George,

Word doesn't "see" the entries of checkboxes or dropdown
formfields so that you can reference them in other fields.

I'd say your best bet would be a macro that executes on EXIT.
Can you explain more exactly what you want to have happen,
based on the value of the checkbox?
