How to Use an ActiveX Checkbox in Word

1. Position the cursor at the point in the document where you want the checkbox to appear.
2. Right-click any Word toolbar and click 'Control Toolbox,' then the 'Check Box' control. A checkbox will appear at the position of your cursor, and can be checked and unchecked by left-clicking it. You can now save the document.
3. Right-click the checkbox and click 'View Code' to bring up the Visual Basic Editor. The editor contains the VB code for the entire document, but will have focused on the object you selected (the checkbox). Here, advanced users can modify the behavior of the checkbox and code its responses to user input.
