Hi Tomhare,

Thanks for posting in MSDN forum.

This forum is for developers discusing devleoping issues involve Word like Word automation, customization. Since the issue is more relative to end-user, I would like to move it to Word IT Pro Discussion forum.

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us.

Thanks for your understanding.

Hi,

I created an html file based on your provided code, in IE, your code works as expected that all checkboxes display well.

In Word, this behavior seems to be related to a Trust Center settings:

In Word 2010, File -> Options -> Trust Center -> Trust Center Settings -> ActiveX Settings -> Check which option is selected. My test result is that if "Disable all controls without notification" is ticked, the checkbox will display the red X. We can switch to "Prompt me before enabling all controls with minimal restrictions" to check the result.

yes in IE its fine before i post in here i have tried  meny options in word including  checking "Prompt me before enabling all controls with minimal restrictions"  as well also tried checking "enable all controls with out restrictions" i have also tried un checking the protected mood.

results are still the same all RED X, is there any other options i am missing, did you test it  by pasting the above html to a note pad and save it as .doc-->open it in word--> and be able to see the check boxes properly displayed in word instead of RED x...

I am using Word 2010 to open the file

Hi,

I created a Text Document "Test.txt", copied your code above and pasted it into the file "Test.txt", saved it.

Then I changed the file extention to ".html", not ".doc", opened the file with Word 2010, and the behavior just met what I described above.

Note: Before you quit Word, make sure you have saved the changes to the file.

You can try to follow my steps and check the result. If the problem persists, maybe you can share the file that you created to me, I'll check it here on my side.

Please send the file to our email address, and add the url of this thread for easy tracking.
