How do I create a "checkbox" in Word/Excel?

[smags]

How do I create a square box that I can "click" on and then it will put an
"x" inside of the box? Can I do this in ALL MS Office products? If so, is
it the same commands to accomplish this? I really am interested in doing it
in Word and Excel.

Thanks.

Both Word and Excel allow you to insert check boxes from the Forms
toolbar or Control Toolbox toolbar. To display these toolbars, click on
View | Toolbars.

I want the checkbox that a person, using Word or Excel, can click on the box
and it puts an "x" or checkmark inside the box!?

appropriate.
