Here, you’ll see two categories that contain a checkbox icon: Form controls and ActiveX controls. In Excel’s Developer tab, click Insert in the Controls section. Insert a checkbox in Microsoft Excel Step 1: Click Insert in the Developer tab To replace the X with a tick, select the Windings 2 font at the top, locate and click the tick symbol, then click OK. At the bottom, under Check Box Properties, click the Change button, next to Checked symbol. Should you want to change this to a tick or other symbols, select a checkbox, then click Properties in the Developer tab. The default symbol for a selected checkbox is an X in a square outline. Step 2 (optional): Change the checkbox symbol Users with editing permissions are able to tick and untick the checkbox, which is useful if, say, the list tracks team members’ progress on individual tasks. Repeat this process for each checkbox that needs adding. If you hover over it, its title is Check Box Content Control. Then, select Developer in the top ribbon and, in the Controls section, click the checkbox icon. In your Word document, click your cursor where you want to insert a checkbox-to the left of a list element, for instance.
