How to Create a Check Box in OpenOffice

1. In OpenOffice, go to "View," then "Toolbars" and select "Form Controls."
2. In the Form Controls toolbar, click the Check Box icon, then click and drag in your text document. Use the green squares around the edge of the check box item to make the check box larger or smaller. With your mouse over the check box item, click and drag to move it around.
3. Double-click the check box to open its properties. Click the "General" tab. Next to "Label:" type a label of your choice. This label will appear next to the check box. If you don't want a label, leave this box blank.
4. When you're finished tweaking your check box, click the "Design Mode On/Off" button in the top right corner of the Form Controls toolbar. This will allow you to test your check box. If you click your check box, it will now check and un-check like it should. If you'd like to make more changes to your check box item, turn Design Mode back on.
