I have no time now to write it, but this is how you should proceed: 

(1) put the text in a symbol
(2) define a check field 
(3) use the symbol as on value
(4) turn on/off the check field

Technically what you want is not complicated, not even the top/bottom part,
the main thing being housekeeping. I may write it anyway, maybe later this
week i can look into it. Remind me.
