Make a checklist for checking off items in Word
There are four steps involved in creating a list with check boxes that you can check off in Word. This type of list requires a Check Box Content Control, found in the Developer tab.
Step 1: Show the Developer tab
Step 2: Make your list
More about the Check Box Content Control
You can use something other than the default check box and X.
Step 3: Refine the layout
If some items in your list are more than one line long, you can use hanging indents to align them.
When you're satisfied with the list, group it to lock the controls and listed items in place. That way, people can check off items on the list without changing the items themselves.

If you just need a checklist that you can print, you can make a list where each item has a check box that you can check off on paper. You can also create a list of check boxes and check off items electronically by opening the document in Word.
Note: If you can't check off an item electronically, it might be formatted for printing only or the document might be locked.
The way that you create the list depends on whether your document already contains bulleted lists with different kinds of bullets.

Step 2: Insert the check boxes and text
Step 3: Refine the layout
Although you are using the table to lay out the list, you probably want to adjust the spacing so that the column that contains the check boxes isn't too wide, and the text is lined up close to the check boxes. You probably don't want the border lines that Word usually includes with the table. To make these adjustments, do the following:
Make a checklist that you can check off in Word
To use check boxes that you can check off in Word, you insert the check box form field into your document. This looks best if you use a table to align the check boxes with the text, so your first step is to create a table. After you create the table, you can insert the check boxes in one column and the text in the other column, and then you can refine the layout. To check off the items, you lock the form.
The result looks like the following illustration.
Step 1: Create a table
Don't worry about the size of the columns or the border lines in the table. You will fix those later.
Step 2: Insert the check boxes and text
To add the boxes that you will be able to check, you need to use the Developer tab.

Step 4: Lock the form
To check off the items by clicking in the check boxes, you need to lock the form. However, when the form is locked, you will not be able to make changes to the text or layout, so be sure to do this step last.
Note: If you want to check the spelling in your list, you must run spell check on the document before you lock the form.
When you want to edit the document, you can easily unlock the form. Just remember to lock it again so that you will be able to click the check boxes.

Note: If you used a password to add protection to the document, you need to type the password before you can stop the protection.
