Microsoft word never fails to amaze me on their ability to overcomplicate the usage of a very simple feature.

@heather2958 5 ай бұрын

Is this demo not applicable to Microsoft Word for Mac? I have the Developer tab, but I do not have a 'Controls' group and I am not able to easily click the check box to mark it. When the check box is clicked, it opens up a separate 'Check Box Form Field Options' pop up and I have to click 'not checked' or 'checked'. This is quite inefficient when there are a lot of check boxes in my document.

@paulrandolph8469 5 ай бұрын

For me, the check box in the developer tab is greyed-out so I cannot use it. Any idea what could cause this? I tried using the legacy options (toolbox/key icon), but those are not interactive.

Does the checkboxes remain clickable after i print the file in pdf?

that didn't work for me. Word inserted a (checked) box to the left of my line rather than where i positioned the cursor.

@olivianicastro5107 5 ай бұрын

my mac doesn't have the check boxes become checked automatically, another window opens where you have to select to check the box. This is so cumbersome.

@@radiotelemetry The reason is probably the version of microsoft word doc. After I opened a new word doc., everything woked perfectly fine. I couldn't add editable check boxes in any of my older documents.

@gallawayrk 5 ай бұрын

This doesn't apply to Mac, even though that's what I entered in my search. Apparently with the lates Mac and Microsoft updates you can no longer create a clickable checkbox. The previous version did allow that.

The checkbox and some other tools are grayed out on my Developer tab. I'm using Word in MS Office 365 for enterprise in Windows. I can choose the dropdown from the last symbol in the list and get two options for a checkbox but neither of them look or work as you're describing., i.e. they are not interactive. The first is on the Legacy list and the second is on the Active-X list. So far, all the instructions on how to do this, including Word's Help, are the same as yours, which don't help me. Let me know if you have the answer.

@funkymuskcrat73 7 ай бұрын

I found my answer elsewhere. The answer is that Word somehow got into Compatibility Mode. This option control isn't available in that mode.

@Office_Master 7 ай бұрын

Great work. The compatibility mode can makes problems with functions sometimes.
