I have a table with small boxes and these boxes have check marks in them. I
can delete them but the whole box goes away. If I do that how do I get a box
with a checkmark inside again?

To uncheck a box in a Word document table, you can simply click on the box to remove the checkmark. If you accidentally delete the box, you can easily insert a new one by following these steps:

1. Place your cursor where you want to insert the new box.
2. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu.
3. Click on the "Table" button and select "Insert Table" from the drop-down menu.
4. In the "Insert Table" dialog box, specify the number of rows and columns you want for your table.
5. Click "OK" to insert the table.
6. Click on the cell where you want to insert the box.
7. Click on the "Insert" tab in the top menu.
8. Click on the "Symbol" button and select "More Symbols" from the drop-down menu.
9. In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Wingdings" from the "Font" drop-down menu.
10. Scroll down until you find the box symbol you want to use and click on it.
11. Click "Insert" to insert the symbol into your document.
12. Close the "Symbol" dialog box.

Now you have a new box with no checkmark in it. If you want to add a checkmark, simply click on the box and insert the checkmark symbol from the "Symbol" dialog box.

Try double-clicking it and see what happens.

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

of these.
