Yesterday I was tinkering in Word and my custom Document_ContentControlOnChange event
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tip_pages/content_control_custom_events.html
and developed a relatively simple method to use that technique to create mutually exclusive content control checkboxes:

I shared it with a long-time Word MVP and his comment was "Best thing I've seen in six months. Very Nice!"
I'm just a dabbler in VBA and I certainly don't consider myself a programmer. If I am able to cobble together things like this, I can't understand why Microsoft won't incorporate a built-in Document_ContentControlOnChange event in the application!
I consider content controls the "crown jewels" of Word. That said, and as versatile as they are, Microsoft has left them unfinished. I know that there has been a call for a change event since the content controls were introduced in Word 2007? Why after two versions later is it still glaringly absent?
Hoping some moderator/MS employee will see this and forward it to the product team and that the product team will finally take long overdue action fix it or at least explain why they can't/won't.
