Insert checkable box

[Guest]

Please could someone tell me how I can insert a checkable box into word so
that I can check and uncheck the box

Hi..!

You can go through the following steps.

Step 1. RightClick on any of the toolbar - Check "Forms"

'Forms' Toolbar will appear.

Step 2. Click on the second option on that toolbar

So that, CheckBox will get inserted in the document

Step 3. Click on the last Icon on that Toolbar i.e. Protect Form.

Then try to check and uncheck the same Box.

All the best..!

There are several ways to insert checkable boxes, depending on whether or
not the document is a protected form. If it is, you use Check Box form
fields; see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/FillinTheBlanks.htm and
especially the forms tutorials by Dian Chapman that this article links to.

If you want check boxes that work in an ordinary document, see

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.

There's at least one alternate approach I've used myself: define the box
via (say) table-cell borders and write "x" into it (preferrably
formatted as AllCaps before) ...

But, of course, the user needs to know that (it's not simply a
"mouseclick").
