Ticking checkboxes is one of many great features built into Microsoft Word. Here’s how to insert checkboxes in the program, and how to interact with them.

Checkboxes can be incredibly useful for any kind of document you're creating, but adding them in Microsoft Word may not be as straightforward as you think.

Then, we’ll add a checkbox control that you can update onscreen by clicking. I’m using Office 365 Word (desktop) on a Windows 10 64-bit system, but you can use earlier versions of Word.

On the other hand, if you'd like to add a checkbox in Apple Notes, all you need to do is click the "Checklist" button. Naturally, you'd think Microsoft Word offers a similar one-click solution.
