Note:  Once you have pasted a data tag into your document, you cannot edit it.  
You must delete the tag and  create a new tag. 

Using the utility MAKECHKB.exe provided with EZTag existing Elixir form 
files (*.elx) that contain checkboxes defined using special font characters can be 
converted to CHECKB_ without having to add new datatags. 
 
Usage: 
 
MAKECHKB FILENAME SEARCHCHAR [WIDTH] 
 
Where:

Is the utility stored in your drive:\ELIXIR folder. 
 
FILENAME 
Is the name of the Elixir form file(s) to be converted.  The path should be 
included in the filename and wildcards can be used.

field. As an example the character ‘b’ will be converted

checkboxes have a length of at least two characters.
