How to Insert Check Boxes in Word

Position your cursor where you want to place a checkbox in the document. Get back to the "Developer" tab and click on the "Check Box Content Control" button . You will see a checkbox appear wherever your cursor is placed. To mark a checkbox, click on it and add an "X".

Check boxes can be a useful tool for creating forms, surveys, or simply adding interactive elements to your Microsoft Word documents. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to insert check boxes in Word.

First, you need to enable the developer mode. To do this, click on “File” and then “Options.” From there, click on “Customize Ribbon” and on the right side, check the box for “Developer.” Click “OK” to enable the developer mode.

Once you have enabled the developer mode, click on it and you’ll find the check box option. Click on the check box and it will be automatically inserted into your document.

But what if you want to insert a check mark inside the box? You can do this by clicking on the check box, then going back to the developer properties and selecting “Properties.” From there, you can choose a check symbol, such as a check mark or a sad face.

If you want to have two choices, such as “true” and “false,” you can select “true” and the “false” option will automatically be unchecked. When you uncheck “true,” the “false” option will be checked.

To create a visually appealing check box, you can choose a font with a check mark symbol. Highlight the check box and go to “Properties,” then select “Checked Symbol.” From the font menu, choose a font that includes a check mark symbol, and select it.
