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.

You can insert a checkbox in a Word document that can be checked off electronically, or with a pen after being printed.

Choose Wingdings from the Font dropdown. Browse down until you find the two alternate check marks shown in Figure C. Choose one, click OK to insert it, and then click OK to return to the document.

Too many or too few hard returns can ruin an otherwise professional looking Microsoft Word document. Fortunately, it's easy to add and replace those hard returns using Word's Replace feature.
