How to Insert a Clickable Checkbox in Microsoft Word

[@rafaelaugustofortiperroni341]

Microsoft word never fails to amaze me on their ability to overcomplicate the usage of a very simple feature.

Great

[@sarahsaurausrex]

Argh, I have word for mac and cannot find the content control properties menu anywhere. I was able to get as far as enabling the checkbox though so thank you for that! I will just have to settle for a X instead of a check mark.

[@jaimequinones2678]

Same here. Sucks.

[@engtap2850]

Please upload more videos.

[@Office_Master]

I will try. ❤️

[@aridairoman6266]

is there a way to highlight the text once the you check a box?

[@tegenesisay8543]

The "Check Box Content Control" icon under the controls category is not active on my laptop, why?

[@vyvynguyen4662]

Does this work for microsoft Word 2007?

[@paulrandolph8469]

For me, the check box in the developer tab is greyed-out so I cannot use it. Any idea what could cause this? I tried using the legacy options (toolbox/key icon), but those are not interactive.

[@AndrewKleinWW]

and if "file" isn't in the ribbon?

[@lomarvgc1580]

sound like the guy from audit the audit

[@tfc1193]

pretty sure it is xD

[@stephenstiles4387]

Great instruction but I only see a dislike not a like.

[@meloon5876]

How can i make TICK my default for all my word doc? Now, if i hv 10 boxes, i have to do 1 by 1? I cant seem to apply 1 shot to all 10 boxes. Thks

[@laurenaltschuler5816]

Figured it out. I was in compatability mode.

[@Office_Master]

Perfect!

[@BroVon-xb2rq]

Hi Office Master, thanks for the help. The beginning of your vid shows a red check mark in a black box. The tutorial doesn't explain that option.

[@Office_Master]

Hello, thank you for comment. can you tell me at what second the red check mark is visible? I can't find it.

[@heather2958]

Is this demo not applicable to Microsoft Word for Mac? I have the Developer tab, but I do not have a 'Controls' group and I am not able to easily click the check box to mark it. When the check box is clicked, it opens up a separate 'Check Box Form Field Options' pop up and I have to click 'not checked' or 'checked'. This is quite inefficient when there are a lot of check boxes in my document.

[@frankobaby5469]

I tried this but noticed that mine was shaded gray. Apparently I have to put it in protection mode for it to work? Is there any other way?

[@olivianicastro5107]

my mac doesn't have the check boxes become checked automatically, another window opens where you have to select to check the box. This is so cumbersome.

[@jasons239]

Hey is this the same voice from the Audit Archive?

[@Flipper1989]

Does the checkboxes remain clickable after i print the file in pdf?

[@laurenaltschuler5816]

The properties on my version of Word which I thought was the latest, is not the same! I don't have this option.

[@YouAreCorrectBut]

This is the same narrator from Audit The Audit

[@KevinMcGuinness-z8i]

Thanks but I skipped the video by just searching for it in the search bar

[@shiningstar2903]

When the box is added, it doesnt automatically have X and even after switching that to a checkmark, it does not work.

[@gallawayrk]

This doesn't apply to Mac, even though that's what I entered in my search. Apparently with the lates Mac and Microsoft updates you can no longer create a clickable checkbox. The previous version did allow that.

[@funkymuskcrat73]

The checkbox and some other tools are grayed out on my Developer tab. I'm using Word in MS Office 365 for enterprise in Windows. I can choose the dropdown from the last symbol in the list and get two options for a checkbox but neither of them look or work as you're describing., i.e. they are not interactive. The first is on the Legacy list and the second is on the Active-X list. So far, all the instructions on how to do this, including Word's Help, are the same as yours, which don't help me. Let me know if you have the answer.

[@funkymuskcrat73]

I found my answer elsewhere. The answer is that Word somehow got into Compatibility Mode. This option control isn't available in that mode.

[@Office_Master]

Great work. The compatibility mode can makes problems with functions sometimes.

[@swimmer3662]

that didn't work for me. Word inserted a (checked) box to the left of my line rather than where i positioned the cursor.

[@tfc1193]

Wait....is this the Audit the Audit guy??

[@Its_me_fee]

I just wanted to add a freakin check box on a column. I wishhhhhhh! Word complications.

[@AngelaCatbagan-u8b]

thanks but the succeeding box are not interactive

[@sahidashaa5448]

I tried it. I can see the developer tab, but the checkbox mark is grey, so I can't use it. Can someone help me please.

[@Office_Master]

what version did you use?

[@charlottejohnston1475]

I need the check box at the end of the sentence not at the beginning.

[@mikehawk8609]

Are you the police audit guy? 🤔

[@lichwarri]

Any idea what I am doing wrong when the checkbox button to insert one is greyed out?:)

[@Oekiero]

I am having the same issue. It seems to be disabled for some reason. Have you found any solution?

[@radiotelemetry]

@@Oekiero Same here... it's grayed out and not clickable...

[@Oekiero]

@@radiotelemetry The reason is probably the version of microsoft word doc. After I opened a new word doc., everything woked perfectly fine. I couldn't add editable check boxes in any of my older documents.
