inserting a checkbox in Word 2007 Solved

Question

Hello,

In Word 2007, I need to create a list of tasks to be completed. Each line should start with a checkbox.
My question: how do I create this checkbox?

Thank you for your help.

Best regards.

Hello
checkbox for digital use or just for a paper version that will be checked with a pencil?

in the first case: "Developer" tab / "Controls" group / "Legacy Tools" icon (yellow suitcase with tools) / use the checkbox in "Legacy Forms"

in the second case: "Insert" tab / "Shapes" group / draw a square

Hello UsulArrakis.

I managed to create my empty boxes. What’s disappointing given the price of Word is that there isn't even a square available in the shapes, and I had to modify a rectangle.

I thank you for your help.
Best regards.

Jack.

to create a square, you select the rectangle and when you draw your shape, you hold down the Ctrl key
it's the same for making a circle, you need to select the ellipse and keep the Ctrl key pressed

Hello,

I am in the same situation; I need to create a form with checkboxes, but I can't find either the "Form" tab or the Developer tab?

Can you tell me where they are located?

Thank you for your responses.

Hello,

the topic is old but since "deessia" has dug it up, I'm jumping in.
In the second part of UsulArrakis's response and the remark from "jack 63" about the box to draw for a manual checkbox, I just want to say that everything you need is in the Wingdings font: Insert tab, "Symbols", "More Symbols", Wingdings font. Simple square, shaded square, in short
Much easier to manage than a drawn square, they inherit the body of the paragraph characters, but can be individually enlarged if needed.
