    Find and Replace for wdFieldFormCheckBox with text beside it

    Hello,

    Beginner here! I'm trying to use a macro in Word to find a Legacy checkbox (wdFieldFormCheckBox) with particular text beside it, in order to delete both the checkbox and the text. I was using the following to find text and replace it with nothing, but I don't know how to include the checkbox in the "Find" function. Thanks for your help in advance!

    Sub Test()
    
    
    With Selection.Find
    
    
    .ClearFormatting
    
    
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    
    
    .Text = "Protocol"
    
    
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    
    
    .Forward = True
    
    
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    
    
    .Format = False
    
    
    .MatchCase = True
    
    
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    
    
    .MatchWildcards = False
    
    
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    
    
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    
    
    .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    
    
    End With

    Assuming the check box and text are alone in a paragraph then with the form unprotected:

    Sub Macro1()
    Dim oFF As FormField
    Dim orng As Range
        For Each oFF In ActiveDocument.FormFields
            If oFF.Type = wdFieldFormCheckBox Then
                Set orng = oFF.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range
                'orng.Select
                If InStr(1, orng.Text, "Protocol") > 0 Then
                    orng.Text = ""
                End If
            End If
        Next oFF
        Set oFF = Nothing
        Set orng = Nothing
    End Sub
