I am trying to insert a clickable check box (so that when you click on it, it
goes from unchecked to checked) but can't find it.

Help! And thanks -

Hi mm,

No worries, I can definitely help you with that! Here are the steps to insert a clickable check box in Word 2007:

1. Click on the "Developer" tab in the ribbon. If you don't see the Developer tab, you may need to enable it by going to the "Office Button" (the round button in the top left corner) "Word Options" "Popular" "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon".
2. In the "Controls" group, click on the "Legacy Tools" button and select "Check Box Form Field" from the drop-down menu.
3. Click where you want to insert the check box in your document.
4. Right-click on the check box and select "Properties".
5. In the "Content Control Properties" dialog box, you can customize the appearance and behavior of the check box. For example, you can change the default text that appears next to the check box, or choose whether the check box is checked or unchecked by default.
6. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

That's it! Now you have a clickable check box in your Word document. When you click on it, it will toggle between checked and unchecked.

What kind of clickable check box? There are two possibilities - a
macrobutton field - see http://www.gmayor.com/Macrobutton.htm and a
protected form check box. You will find these on the developer tab (not
displayed by default - Word Options Popular) in the Controls Group
Legacy Controls pallette. If you plan to do a lot with forms in 2007, you
will find http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic%20Form%20Controls.htm useful.
