So I created a checkbox group using the "Insert-Checkbox group" tool. - Looks good. Now, I want to go back to the dialog box and add additional options - but I dont know how to reopen the box where I added my values to create the group. Can someone pls tell me how. Thanks.

    There are a few ways to do this:

    In Code view,

    • copy and paste one of the existing checkboxes ensuring that a unique ID is given to the new checkbox.

    In Live view,

    • click one of the checkboxes then go to the Insert panel > Form > Checkbox Group and insert the checkbox(es) as directed.
    • click the new checkbox and in the properties panel ensure that the Name is the same as the other checkboxes

    Nah, I tried your first option before I posted the question - it messed up the formatting of my table so bad and it was becoming a headache in formating it back and making it sort alphabetically again. I tried the second one after reading your answer - although it works, it creates another table - and you can merge cells not tables - it's just not a sound plan. It's a shame that DW does not allow one to easily add and remove choices to the original list. What I will do is start from scratch, but this time I will save as a template before I add any formatting to the list. So if in the future I want to amend the list, I can easily pull out the template - Thanks for your help.
