we will show you how to add checkboxes in Word. Lets say we are making multiple choice questions for a survey and want to add checkboxes before the different answers here. Word allows you to add checkboxes so that users can fill in the survey digitally. First, lets move the cursor and click on the start of the first answer here. You can see the word cursor line blinking here. Now we will move to the developer tab at the top ribbon here. If you cant see the developer tab at the top, move to File and click on Options from the menu. This would open the Word Options popup window where you would need to move to the Customize Ribbon option. Over here, in the Customize this Ribbon section, make sure the Main Tabs option is selected from the dropdown menu. Moving to the list, you would need to enable the developer option here by clicking on it. Once you click on Ok, the developer tab would appear on the top ribbon here. Once in the developer tab, click on the Checkbox icon in the controls section here. You will see that word will automatically add the checkbox where the cursor was placed. Now, we can copy and paste the checkbox by selecting it, using the Control C key on the keyboard, moving the cursor to the next line and pasting it by using the Control V key. Similarly, we can copy and paste the checkbox for the remaining answers as well. Now once we click on the checkbox, you can see that word shows the checkbox as selected by showing an X over the checkbox. You can change how the checkbox looks when its selected. So, lets select the checkbox here and move to the developer tab. Over here, lets click on the properties option. Click on the change button next to the Checked Symbol Option. From here, you can select any icon from the list. For example, in the font Webdings, you can find the tick icon here. Once you double click on it, you will be taken back to the Content Control properties window. Now when you will click on the Ok button, you can see that the selected version of the checkbox has changed

THANK YOU so much. It's been years and years since I used Word and I forgot what I did know, which was a decent amount at the time; . I am mortified that I wasted an entire evening trying to format a VERY simple document (A menu of events and times! But I learned a ton by lots of trial and error! THANKS AGAIN. Stay well and safe!

Easy to add. Pity no one shows how to use it. 99% of word documents I receive with text boxes on them cannot be ticked by ticking on them. Cannot find instructions on how a user (who shouldn't have to go and enable developer tools to tick a box) actually get them ticked.

Excellent video, though I can't fathom why Microsoft hasn't implemented a right click edit option for editing the checkbox field you made making changes a breeze many thanks.

I had an issue where on the developer tab, it would not let me select the check box option, this is because the document needs to be saved to enable this.
