Yes/No field property reference

When you use Design View to add a Yes/No field to a table, you can set and change a number of properties for the field. This table shows the Yes/No field properties, describes what each one does, and explains the implications of setting or changing them.

Property

Use

Caption

The label text that is displayed for this field by default in forms, reports, and queries. If this property is empty, the name of the field is used. Any text string is allowed.

An effective caption is usually brief.

Default Value

Automatically assigns the specified value to this field when a new record is added.

Format

Determines the way that the field appears when it is displayed or printed in datasheets, or in forms or reports that are bound to the field. Select one of the following:

  • True/False   Displays the value as either True or False.

  • Yes/No   Displays the value as either Yes or No.

  • On/Off   Displays the value as either On or Off.

Indexed

Specifies whether the field has an index. There are three available values:

  • Yes (No duplicates)   Creates a unique index on the field.

  • Yes (Duplicates OK)   Creates a non-unique index on the field.

  • No   Removes any index on the field.

Note: Do not change this property for a field that is used in a primary key.

Although you can create an index on a single field by setting the Indexed field property, some kinds of indexes cannot be created in this manner. For example, you cannot create a multi-field index by setting this property.

Text Align

Specifies the default alignment of text within a control.

Validation Rule

Supplies an expression that must be true whenever you add or change the value in this field. Use in conjunction with the Validation Text property.

Validation Text

Enter a message to display when a value that is entered violates the expression in the Validation Rule property.

    What should I do if the check box is grayed out in my ribbon?

First, you need to customize Word’s ribbon and enable the “Developer” tab to show the option to add check boxes. Then, select “Developer” and click the “Check Box Content Control” button to insert a check box into your document. You can also transform Word’s bullets into checkboxes.

When you create surveys or forms with Microsoft Word, check boxes make the options easier to read and answer. We’re covering two good options for doing just that. The first is ideal for documents that you want people to fill out digitally within the Word document itself. The second option is easier if you’re planning to print documents like to-do lists.

Option 1: Use Word’s Developer Tools to Add the Check Box Option for Forms

In order to create fillable forms that include checkboxes, you first need to enable the “Developer” tab on the Ribbon. With a Word document open, click the “File” drop-down menu and then choose the “Options” command. In the “Word Options” window, switch to the “Customize Ribbon” tab. On the right-hand “Customize the Ribbon” list, select “Main Tabs” on the dropdown menu.

Select "Customize Ribbon," then make sure that "Customize the Ribbon" is set to "Main Tabs."

On the list of available main tabs, select the “Developer” check box, and then click the “OK” button

Notice that the “Developer” tab is added to your Ribbon. Just position your cursor in the document where you want a check box, switch to the “Developer” tab, and then click the “Check Box Content Control” button.

You should see a check box appear wherever you placed your cursor. Here, we’ve gone ahead and placed a check box next to each answer and, as you can see, those check boxes are interactive. Click a box to mark it with an “X” (as we’ve done for answers 2, 3, and 4) or select the whole form box (as we’ve done for answer 4) to move the check box around, format it, and so on.

You can add as many check boxes as you want.

Option 2: Change Bullets to Check Boxes for Printed Documents

If you’re creating a document to print out—like a to-do list or printed survey—and just want check boxes on it, you don’t have to mess around with adding Ribbon tabs and using forms. Instead, you can create a simple bullet list and then change the bullets from the default symbol to check boxes.

In your Word document, on the “Home” tab, click the small arrow to the right of the “Bullet List” button. On the dropdown menu, select the “Define new bullet” command.

In the “Define New Bullet” window, click the “Symbol” button.

In the “Symbol” window, click the “Font” dropdown and choose the “Wingdings 2” option.

Set the font to "Wingdings 2."

You can scroll through the symbols to find the empty square symbol that looks like a check box, or you just type the number “163” into the “Character Code” box to automatically select it. Of course, if you see a symbol you like better—like the open circle (symbol 153)—feel free to choose that instead.

When you’ve selected your symbol, click the “OK” button to close the “Symbol” window, and then click the “OK” button to close the “Define New Bullet” window, too.

Scroll until you find the empty box character, or enter "163" into the "Character Code" box. Then hit "OK."

Back in your Word document, you can now type your bullet list. The check boxes appear instead of the regular bullet symbol.

You add new check boxes just like you would any other bullets.

And the next time you need the check box symbol, you don’t have to navigate through that whole set of windows. Just click that small arrow to the right of the “Bullet List” button again, and you’ll see the checkbox listed under the “Recently Used Bullets” section.

The "Bullet List" check boxes are not interactive, so only use them for printed documents.

Again, this method is really only useful for documents you want to print out. The check box symbols are not interactive, so you can’t check them off inside a Word document.

If you’re also creating spreadsheets and presentations, you may want to learn how to insert checkboxes in Excel and add checkboxes to PowerPoint too.

A single checkbox would give you true/false.
You could use instead dropdown content controls with the two options.

Your Microsoft Word document can be transformed into a checklist by adding checkboxes. Keeping track of completed, actioned, and completed items. Word has many great features, including the ability to insert checklists, especially when creating surveys. So, do you want to add checkboxes in Word to create a checklist for your survey?

It’s your lucky day if you’re looking for such an article that will help you to do so. Here we have mentioned some great ways using which you can easily create or add checkboxes in MS Word to create a checklist. Let’s move forward with the guide and see if any of the methods mentioned below helped you or not.

Why Inserting Check Box in Documents Important? 

Using a checkbox allows the user to select one, a few, or none of the options in a list of options. Thus, checking one checkbox does not uncheck the others, as each checkbox is independent of all the others. There are plenty of names for checkboxes, such as check box, tick box, and tick box.

However, in other words, checkboxes are graphical widgets that provide the user with a binary choice, i.e., two mutually exclusive options. In a yes/no question, for example, the user may have to choose between yes (checked) and no (not checked).

How to Insert Checkboxes in Word to Create Checklist

How to Insert a Checkbox in Word in Softcopy Document

Using the Developer tab in Word’s menu bar, you can insert a checkbox in a softcopy document (such as surveys and forms that you want respondents to fill out digitally). However, the menu bar has no default Developer tab, unlike File, Home, Insert, Design, etc. 

That’s why before moving to the main highlight of today’s article, i.e., create or add checkboxes in MS Word to create a checklist. We will first describe to you how to access the Developer’s tab. So, let’s check out the method to do so,

How to Show the Developer Tab in Word

So, as we have already mentioned earlier that there is no dedicated option using which you can access the developer tab directly. However, to access the Developer tab, you must have to follow these steps: 

  1. First, click on File to reveal the Developer tab.How to Show the Developer Tab in Word
  2. The next step is to click Options.How to Show the Developer Tab in Word
  3. In the popup that appears, select Customize Ribbon.

Well, you are now accessed the Developer’s tab. Therefore, now you are ready to know how to add checkboxes in Word to create a checklist. So, let’s check out the different methods to do so. 

How to Create/Insert the Checkbox in your Word Document

Since you are now familiar with how to access the Developer’s tab, you are now able to insert the checkbox in your softcopy of documents such as .doc files. So, let’s check out the steps to do so:

  1. Firstly, place the cursor where the checkbox should appear.
  2. In the menu bar, click the Developer tab. In the list of options, you will find Add-ins, XML Mapping Pane, and some others (their names will not be visible until you hover over them).How to Create/Insert the Checkbox in your Word Document

  4. That’s it. Now, it will insert your checkbox.How to Create/Insert the Checkbox in your Word Document

Can You Change the Icon of the Checked State of the Checkbox?

You can immediately interact with the checkbox after inserting it. The only problem is that when checked, an X appears by default, and you might not want this X, or we say cross sign. So now know how to turn the X into a checkmark.

  1. Put the cursor right next to the checkbox or select it.
  2. Access the Developer tab and select Properties.Can You Change the Icon of the Checked State of the Checkbox

Remove the Bounding Box of the Checkmark

Whenever the checkbox is checked or unchecked or when the cursor is placed on it, the bounding box that appears can also be removed in order to make the checkbox look better and more user-friendly.

  1. Select the checkbox by placing the cursor over it.
  2. In the menu bar, select the Developer tab and click Properties.Can You Change the Icon of the Checked State of the Checkbox

How to Insert a Checkbox in Hardcopy Documents

Some documents, such as identification documents or authentication documents, frequently require hard copies. Physical copies may be the only option in such cases when digital copies aren’t sufficient. You do not have to fumble around with the Developer tab to insert a checkbox into printed documents. For this purpose, you may instead define a custom bullet point.

  1. On the menu bar, make sure the Home tab is selected.
  2. Then, to access the Bullets dropdown menu, click on it.
  3. Now, define a new bullet by clicking Define new bullet.How to Insert a Checkbox in Hardcopy Documents

Is There Any Way to Create a Shortcut to Add an Interactive Checkbox in Word
