  2. On the General tab in the lower section of the table designer, under Field Properties, locate the property that you want to change.

  3. Select the field next to the property name. Depending on the property, you can enter data, start the Expression Builder by clicking Builder button, or select an option from a list.

  3. Click Yes to confirm the deletion.

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.

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

To be honest, I am looking for a very simple solution to add the boxes to a word document for printing purposes only. For an example, Yes No and the boxes empty beneath for someone to check off with a pen. Thank you!

  • Question

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

    Community Answer

    It is grayed out for me too. However, if you click on the one icon that isn’t — Legacy Tools — then you will find the exact same checkbox, which you should be able to select.

  • Question

    How can I enlarge the size of a text box without enlarging the text?

    Community Answer

    In Word, just dragging the corner of the text box should be sufficient. If the text changes size accidentally, you can always highlight it and change it back to the desired size.

  • Question

    How do you make a drop box in word?

    Community Answer

    Download LibreOffice. Follow the manual on how to add a list or list/add or list/multiselect box (or just look under «insert» in the menu). You can add a data source for the dropdown menu items from a database, a spreadsheet or within the file structure itself.

I have been able to use adobe document generation to map the fields from an excel data source into a word template. The excel file has columns with Yes/No values which need to map on the word template in a table.

Currently we cannot populate checkbox in the adobe document generation API and wondering if we can achieve this using python-docx

The excel data and the word table can be located in the power automate forum link below
https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/General-Power-Automate/Populate-Yes-No-in-word-template/m-p/1751613#M101537

Option 1 — Check the correct option in the table

Option 2 — if option 1 is not possible show the correct value in the template. i.e if the excel row has a value of Yes, hide No and vise versa

I havent used to python-docx before and appreciate any help on this please.

Thanks

How to Create a Fillable Form In Word for Windows

Use Word to make custom interactive forms

Updated on January 3, 2021

What to Know

  • To add a fillable object, place the cursor where you want it and go to Developer tab > control type > click on page.
  • To add the Developer tab, go to File > Options > Customize Ribbon > Main Tab > Developer > OK.

This article explains how to create a fillable form document in Word for Microsoft 365, Word 2019, 2016, 2013, and 2010.

How to Add the Developer Tab in Microsoft Word

The form data you create can include the option to choose a date, mark a checkbox, select Yes or No, and more. Before you can configure these controls, you must add the Developer tab to Microsoft Word as they are called. You can create and configure any form data using this tab.

  1. Select File from the top menu.

  2. Then, choose Options.

  3. Select Customize Ribbon.

  4. In the right pane of the dialog of Customize Ribbon part, choose Main Tabs.

  5. Check the box for Developer.

  6. Press OK.

How to Create a Fillable Form in Word with a Checkbox

There are several types of fillable form options in Word. These are called “Controls”. The options are in the Controls group on the Ribbon. You can include a checkbox, date selection box, a combo box with choices you create, drop-down lists, and more. These controls are on the Developer tab.

To create a basic fillable form in Word by providing a checkbox:

  1. Type the text to apply the checkbox. Examples include:

    • “Opt into promotional emails”.
    • “I agree to the terms stated in this document”.
    • “I have completed all tasks”.
  2. Select the Developer tab.

  3. Place your cursor at the beginning of the sentence you’ve written.

  4. Select the Check Box Content Control that adds a check mark. (It has a blue checkmark on it.)

  5. Choose somewhere else in the document to apply it.

To remove any fillable entry, right-click it and choose Remove Content Control. Then use the Delete key on the keyboard to delete anything remains. In some instances simply clicking Delete will suffice.

How to Make a Form in Word with a Date Control

You add a Date Control from the Developer tab to enable users to select a date from a pop-up calendar that appears when they click the control.

To add a Date Control fillable form entry:

  1. Place your cursor in the document where you’d like to add the Date Control.

  2. Select the Developer tab.

  3. Choose the Date Picker Content Control entry for inserting a date control.

  4. Select somewhere outside the new entry to apply it.

How to Make a Form in Word for a Combo Box

If you want to have users choose something from a list that you provide, you use a Combo Box. After you create the box using the Developer tab options, you then access the Properties options for it to enter the available choices. In this example you will create a drop-down list for a party invitation, with options including Yes, No, Maybe.

To create a Combo Box to Make a Form in Word:

  1. Write a sentence that will precede the options you’ll provide. Examples include:

    • “Will you attend the party?”
    • “Will you be bringing a dish to the party”
  2. Select the Developer tab.

  3. Place the cursor in the document where you want the options to appear.

  4. Select the Combo Box Content Control icon. (It’s generally located to the right of the blue checkbox icon.)

  5. On the Developer tab, in the Controls section, choose Properties.

  6. Press Add.

  7. Type Yes, and press OK.

  8. Press Add.

  9. Type No, and press OK.

  10. Press Add again.

  11. Type Maybe, and press OK.

  12. Make any other changes (if desired).

  13. Press OK.

  14. Select somewhere outside the box to apply it; select inside the box to see how it works.

There are other types of form options you can create in Word. When experimenting with these, you’ll generally work in this order:

  1. Type an introductory sentence or paragraph.

  2. Place the cursor where you want the new control to go.

  3. Choose the control from the Controls group on the Developer tab (hover your mouse over any control to see its name).

  4. If applicable, select Properties.

  5. Configure properties as necessary for the control you’ve selected.

  6. Press OK.

If I am expecting an answer from a question and wish to state my prediction, do I need to use quotes around a simple «yes» or «no»?

I think the answer is no. / I think the answer is «no.»

That would be a yes. / That would be a «yes.»

Potential end cases:

Why would he say, «No»?

The votes are in; three yeses and four nos.

The options are yes or no; not «maybe.»

Unless there’s a style guide telling you otherwise, I’d suggest basing your decision on whether you mean the literal words ‘yes’ and ‘no’, or the general nature of the response. Consider:

Why would he say, «No»? (For that is the word that he said.)

vs

Why would he say no? (What he actually said was «Over my dead body», but let’s not worry about that detail.)

In both the answer is no and say no, quotes are relatively uncommon. The Corpus of Contemporary American English gives these results:

the answer is no        484 hits
the answer is " no       27 hits (including punctuation variants)

[say] no               8891 hits
[say] " no "            521 hits (including punctuation variants)

However there are only 10 yesses and 30 yeses, so you might want to reword that one (perhaps The votes are in: 3 in favor and 4 against).

My subjective impression is that it is better style to omit the quotes. Your style, of course, is up to you.

Personal opinion? Put the quotes. This is what they’re there for: to distinguish between the meaning of the word, and the word itself (“ceci n’est pas une pipe”).

For comparison, consider

The answer is affirmative.

Here, “affirmative” is a word that signifies that the answer is positive / “yes”. But the word “yes” itself is not synonymous with “affirmative” in this usage. I may affirm an answer by saying “yes”. But I cannot yes an answer to affirm it.

But unfortunately popular writing usually seems to oppose my conviction. That is, in most novels such short expressions are rarely put between quotes even though they are a fragment of direct speech.

A handbook of style will tell you that the simpler, cleaner format is usually better, and is becoming more universally accepted.

My instinct would be that you would only want to use quotes if you want to make it explicitly clear that you are quoting an exact, phonetic utterance. Notice the two elements of the criterion:

  1. You are quoting a phonetic utterance.
  2. You want to make it very clear that you are.

Otherwise, just say no to quotes.

To quote from Grammar Girl (emphasis added),

  • «If you are directly quoting someone, put the word in quotation marks.»
  • «If you are indirectly quoting someone, don’t put the word in quotation marks.»

Here are some examples:

  • The cat smiled and said, «Yes.»
  • «No,» I replied, «he is unavailable.»
  • I hoped the answer would be yes, she could go.
  • In so many words, I had to tell him no.

In the last two examples, the words «yes» and «no» summarize the nature of the response, but do not necessarily reflect any spoken words.
