I have not created a form in a long time. It used to be: Insert Form
Field/Check box, and THERE it was! ....Now, with Word 2007, I cant figure it
out. I've gone into Insert/Quick Parts/Field... and I'm lost after that.
Help!!!

Click to expand...

First, go to Office button > Word Options > Popular and check the box
to display the Developer tab on the ribbon.

Then click the Developer tab and look in the Controls group. There's a
button in the second row whose tooltip says "Legacy Controls", and the
form fields (including check boxes) are there.

Or look at Greg Maxey's articles,
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Classic Form Controls.htm and
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Objects.htm.
 
First you need to show the Developer Tab on the Ribbon. To do this:

1. Click the round Microsoft Office button in the upper left.
2. Click on Word Options in the lower right-hand side of the box that pops up.
3. Click on "Popular" on the left.
4. Check the box next to "Show Developer Tab in the Ribbon."
5. Click OK to get out of the box.

To insert a check box field:

1. Click on the Developer Tab.
2. Click on the Legacy Tools button in the Controls Group.
