A drop-down list appears, which contains two sections: Legacy Forms and ActiveX Controls.

Read the following article to know how to enable it. Note: If you could not see the Developer tab on the Ribbon, you may need to enable it from Word Options.
You can find the checkbox control on the Developer tab of the Ribbon menu. See the following example:Īdding checkbox controls to create a electronic Form (Word 2007) You can click on Installing an Using Global Addins if you need help or further explanation on using templates and addins.You may need to add check boxes in your Word document mainly for two reasons:ġ) To create an electronic Form containing clickable checkboxes, which can be used to capture user feedback (like a survey) see the following example:Ģ) To create a printable checklist, containing a checkbox against each item in the document. Unzip the file to your Word>Startup directory so it will load as a global template making the AutoText entries, macros, and toolbar available in all your Word documents. The template contains a toolbar shown below for entering each of the interactive symbols. If you are not up to the task of creating your own checkboxes then I have done it for you (I was bored) If Mid$(ActiveDocument.Fields(1).Code, 14, 7) = "Uncheck" Then Go ahead and enter a few and give it a try. and when the AutoComplete tip appears press enter. Like any AutoText entry, the checked or unchecked box can be inserted as you type when your system is configured to "Show AutoComplete Suggestions." Simply begin typing check. Your Insert>AutoText Menu now has a new category named "Checkboxes." Select this category whenever you want to place an initially checked or unckecked box in your document. Or if you have your system setup to prompt you of any changes to your template then answer yes to the prompt. Save All will ensure the AutoText and macro entries in your template are saved. Hold down the SHIFT key and select File>Save All. Before you do, be sure that you save the changes that have been made to your template. With the macros placed in the VBA Project of your template you are ready to start using your new interactive checkboxes. Sub CheckIt()Ī("Checked Box").InsertĪ("Unchecked Box").Insert If you are unfamiliar with this process please see fellow MVP Graham Mayor's Guide for Installing Macros.
#Add check box word code
Applying macro code to your VBA project is beyond the scope of this page. In our case we want Word to replace a cleared box with a checked box when the macro labeled "Checkit" is fired and replace a checked box with a cleared box when the macro labeled "Uncheckit" is fired.
Macros tell Word to do something when they are fired. One field fires a macro labeled "Checkit" and the other field fires a macro labeled "Uncheckit." The next step is to create these two macros that make the symbols interactive. As you have seen from the construction these symbols are nested in a MACROBUTTON field. One displays a cleared box and one displays a checked box. You have now created two AutoText entries. Name this AutoText entry "Checked Box." Tip: You can choose the "X'd" box at this point if you prefer. Then select the revised field code and press ALT+F3. Using the keyboard and Insert>Symbol menu, change the field code as shown below. Name the AutoText entry "Unchecked Box" as shown below and press "OK." Tip: You might want to display non-printing characters (CTRL+SHIFT+*) to make it easier to select just the field code. This opens the "Create AutoText" dialog box. Select the entire field code (do not select the paragraph mark at the end of the field) and press ALT+F3. Without moving the cursor, Press CTRL+F9 to enter field code delimiters "." In the delimiters type "MACROBUTTON Checkit " then use the Insert>Symbol menu to insert a clear box. Tip: AutoText categories are simply a list of styles where one or more AutoText entry has been created with that style applied. This creates a style, but more importantly in this case it creates a category in Autotext to hold your checkbox symbol entries. In the Style window, type Checkboxes and press enter. Next, if not already displayed, use the View>Toolbars menu to display the Format toolbar. You can delete it later when finished with this process. Just to make things easier, save it now with any name.
