All i want is a box that when i click it appears a checkmark and when i click
it again it disappears. I know it can be done but I dont understand about

Take a look at the way that it is done with the Fax template that comes with
Word.

Activate the Control Toolbox toolbar. Select the Design Mode. Click on the
Check Box button. Right click on the box that says Check Box1 and select
properties. In the Caption field delete the text and close the Properties
box. Size the Check Box1 to the smallest size that will allow you to see the
check box. Click again on the Design Mode button.

Now you should have a check box that you can click on and off. It will not
run any macro (which is what I thick you are looking for).

Inserting active-x controls from the controls toolbox is the most cumbersome
way of adding a simple checkbox to a document IMO.
