Yes. I can't stand overly dramatic videos. Subscribed. Thank you for putting these things out there. I do have an input, if you allow: Split up this kind of video into a series explaining only one function per video= shorter vids, faster access, probably more views? Just an input, sir. Thank you.

I have been toiling about this problem for 2 days, as I was able to use this feature before, but now I cant. I have now figured it out, I changed computers the MS version in my "new computer" has the older version. Switched to a Windows 10 environment, and voila. Thank you so much. The way you explained everything is very clear and slow.

Thank you so much for such an enlightening video. Could you please share a video on inserting multiple symbols simultaneously as shortcut keys?

[@jjsc4396]

Nore RE 4:23. Once a tick box is entered in a document, it is not just a matter of clicking the box and a tick appears within it. Rather a dialogue box opens with check box field options. Which to and end user is not the same as simply clicking and having the tick mark appear.

[@ekpenmene]

Very impressive video. Many thanks. One issue. How do I remove the bounding box in Office 2010 as I don't get the option to amend it

[@suhroburokov8366]

Hello, how can I create a check box with options eliminating the choice of alternative, for example if I choose Yes No gets unchecked. How can I do it?

[@mrs.rabiyaimranch292]

Thank you ❤️

[@TheTechTrain]

You're very welcome!

[@vasiliybukur4302]

Thank you for the tips. How do I check multiple boxes at once? For example, I have two columns with Yes and No boxes. I want to link/select all the No boxes in the table by clicking on one single box.

[@reliablehousecleaningservi3852]

Thank you SO MUCH!!

[@TheTechTrain]

You are SO WELCOME!

[@andrewpatterson5479]

A good extension to all this is to know that when you select properties (5.24) you can also change the checked symbol to a ticked box rather than an X. A further extension is to assign the unchecked form as a letter or number and the checked form as its enclosed alphanumeric form. This allows you to circle a letter or number on a click.

[@nhingoo]

Hello The Tech Train. Great tutorial very useful. Is it possible to do the steps with a Macro?

[@marialees5392]

Hi Tech Train, love this new learned feature, however, when I try to actually tick in the box, the x goes to the outside and not in? Help... :)

[@TheTechTrain]

Hello Maria, I'm not too sure what you've done there to be honest. If you'd like to email me your file I'll be happy to take a look.

[@carstt225]

Hello, thank you for your video, but my symbol box is greyed out, is there a way of getting it back?

[@jennywiza225]

I have the same problem!

[@pritivishwakarma7838]

What if i want that user should be able tick mark on one checkbox. please advise

[@atikhomthienthong9310]

How can I insert numbers in boxes? Please give me some advice.

[@TheTechTrain]

These tick boxes are symbols, or characters, you can't put numbers into them. You'd either need a font that includes those sorts of characters, or use a numbered bullet list. I hope this helps.

[@dougharlow6037]

Question? Under the developer box it shows a clickable box with a CHECK MARK  in the box, but when you select it and insert it in a word document it automatically changes to a clickable X. How can you change that to the CHECK MARK  as the default? Great info. thanks

[@isfriendy9369]

Do you know how to line up all the boxes so they're not spread all over the page and they're in 1 line? Tell me if this is confusing, I'll try and break it down. Please help!

[@TheTechTrain]

+Kennevolution - Minecraft Are you using the clickable boxes or the typed ones? The typed ones can simply be treated as text, so use the Tab key or a table to make sure they're lined up. If you're using the clickable one then they should still behave in a similar way to text, so try using the Tab key to line them up, or insert them into a table. Let me know if you need further help!

[@isfriendy9369]

+The Tech Train I'm not sure what you mean. Do I select each box and press TAB? I tried selecting all the text with the boxes next to them and press TAB, but it didn't work.

[@TheTechTrain]

+Kennevolution - Minecraft Think of the check boxes as just being like any other text symbol. How would you normally line your text up? Using the tab key? Use a table? Those same methods should work just the same for these check boxes. Otherwise feel free to email me the file or a screenshot of the file for me to see - [e-mail]

[@pharaohegyptian4245]

Hello I have a question and I will be glad if you help, I want to insert a Checkbox and add a rule for it that when I check the checkbox the True Sign to appear in the box BUT at the same time I want to the font colour of the text near to the Checkbox to be changed automatically to Red for example.. Can you help about that please? Thanks

Word 2010 does not have the 'show as bounding box' option. How can i remove the bounding box?

[@jolt321]

Did you figure this out? Trying to do the same...

[@kristyfrazier8728]

Mine is the same... still can't figure it out.

[@jasons9428]

Thank you a lot!

[@michelenerino3169]

I don't have the ability to remove the bounding box in the version of Office 2010 I'm using. Help

[@alisonhemans4424]

Nice! But I had to click on Word in the toolbar and then preferences to find developer!

[@WeddingDJBusiness]

Just to note the tick or cross in the box will not show unless you have your document locked i.e protect form symbol - This has taken a bit to figure out got the box but nothing would show when clicking on it

[@d.c.9817]

Thanks!

[@Opinkopinko]

Appreciate that..

[@TheTechTrain]

You're welcome

[@awestphal9602]

It would be an improvement if the checked box turned a color such as red or blue when it was checked.

How do you create a clickable tick box with a tick on the inside instead of a x

[@vrod2144]

Tnx!

[@dancaldwell2733]

The check box button and other buttons in the "Controls" section of the "Developer" tab are greyed out and it won't let me use them. How do I enabled the greyed out buttons?

[@TheTechTrain]

Hello Dan, firstly make sure that Protection is not on. Then go to the Developer Tab and check that Restrict Editing hasn't been enabled. Let me know if neither of those help.

[@dancaldwell2733]

I did all that and it did not work for an already old existing Word document in compatibility mode (*.doc file). It works for a new/empty Word documents (*.docx file). So I created a new/empty Word document and copied all contents from my old Word document (*.doc) to the new/empty document (*.docx) and the check box button and other buttons in the "Controls" section of the "Developer" tab are enabled. I hope this helps somebody.

[@TheTechTrain]

Thanks for posting that solution Dan. Glad it worked for you in the end.

[@wilfredotour3]

Here I go again: In what specific format do I have to save this Word document so that when someone opens the document they can click on the check boxes, then save the document, and then send it to me for review?

[@farhanisfaq4927]

Can"t find the check box. Please help.

[@jengeddie360]

how do I do this is Mac version?

[@TheTechTrain]

I'm afraid I don't use Macs so I'm not able to advise you. Hopefully someone else here will be able to help?

[@Cherryb0nb0ns]

2:53, start of the video for the tick box

[@TheTechTrain]

No, the video starts at 0:00, like all videos. What you meant to say was the specific bit that you personally wanted is at that part, but I'm afraid that many of my viewers appreciate a broader understanding of problems and solutions, rather than just quick fixes. I'm glad you found the video useful.
