How do I create checkmark boxes in Word?
Do you want these to actively function as checkboxes in the Word document,
or merely to be checkboxes when printed? For the former, right-click any toolbar and choose Forms. The checkbox is the 2nd from the left (in Word 2003, in any case). Look in the Help system for more information about setting up and using forms. If you just want them printed, you can use a form checkbox as is. Or, you can insert a symbol. If the symbol you insert is too small, select it and press Ctrl+] until it's the size you want. (Check Webdings, Wingdings, and Wingdings 2 for additional boxes if the Symbol ones are too small.) -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "tchinn" wrote in message ...

Thank you Herb and Suzanne for answering my question. I really appreciate it.
Using the Forms toolbar took care of what I needed. Thanks again. |
