Hello,
I would like to electronically insert checkboxes into a Word document on a Mac.
Problem: all the manipulations that I have been told to try assume that I need the "Developer" menu. However, when I access the Ribbon menu in Word Preferences, the entire Customize Ribbon section is grayed out, and the Developer checkbox is therefore not accessible.
It is indicated that this feature is only available if you have an Office 365 Subscription... However, that costs €99/year, which is quite expensive for a checkbox...
Are there any other solutions, please? I am lost...
Thank you in advance for your help!
Configuration: Macintosh / Safari 12.1.2

Hello
Is the checkbox you want for the printed document? Or for a form?
If it's just a box to print and check on paper, insert a square in Wingding font or equivalent.
If it's a form, try using LibreOffice (free) for Mac OS (it handles MS Word documents).
See you!
If the answer helped you: a little thank you is nice. If it's resolved: the green button at the top is better ;-)
Let anyone who has never opened a user manual throw me the first mouse.

Hello
If you install the official French version, you can then change the UI (User Interface) language in LibreOffice options.
Menu Tools, Options, Language Settings, Languages, User Interface...
A+

This box should be able to be ticked electronically without having to print the document.
I really must not be skilled because I can't find the ruler in LibreOffice in the control form that would apparently allow me to access the famous check box (not to mention that everything is in English...).
Best regards.
