Word doc: How can I change multiple Form Check Boxes at once.

I have 25 pages worth, all the check boxes reside in front of text within one column of a table. They all need to be "X" checked? and its driving me crazy to select and paste (current solution).

Is there a way to select the rows, or all formcheckbox, and make a global type change to make them all "checked"?

Answer
Answer

Run a macro containing the following code:

Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument
    For i = 1 To .FormFields.Count
        If .FormFields(i).Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then
            .FormFields(i).CheckBox.Value = True
        End If
    Next i
End With

Hope this helps,
