SYMPTOMS
When you use the WordBasic.InsertFormField command with the CheckWidth argument, the following error message may appear:
CAUSE
Because the CheckWidth argument must be specified in twips instead of points, the smallest value that can be used with the CheckWidth argument is 20 twips.
Running the macro example produces the error described in the "Symptoms" section of this article. If you change the CheckWidth value to 360 (18 points in twips), the macro example will work. WORKAROUNDMicrosoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty
