Find the Development Tools tab

Many people cannot find the entrance when they use it for the first time, but the check box is in the "Development Tools". By default, this tab is hidden, you need to call it out first:

1. Click "File" in the upper left corner → "Options" → "Customize Ribbon"
2. Find "Development Tools" in the command list on the left
3. Click the "Add" button to add "Development Tools" to the tab bar on the right.
4. After confirming saving, you can see it in the menu bar

Steps to Insert a Checkbox

After entering the "Development Tools", you can start inserting:

• Click the "Insert" button to find the "check box" in the form control
• The mouse will become a cross shape. Click the position you want to place, and a check box with text will appear.
• If you don't want to bring text, you can right-click → edit text and delete it

You can copy multiple checkboxes to use in batches, such as making a to-do list. However, it should be noted that these check boxes will not automatically resize or position by default. It is recommended to plan the cell layout in advance.

Link the checkbox and cell content

A separate check box can only be manually ticked. If you want it to be associated with the content of a certain cell (for example, it shows "Completed" after ticking), you need to set the cell link:

1. Right-click check box → Format control
2. Switch to the Control tab
3. Select a cell in "Cell Link"
4. After confirmation, when the check box is checked, the cell will display TRUE/FALSE.

At this time, you can use the IF function to make judgments, such as: =IF(A1=TRUE,"已完成","未完成")

This way your table can be updated dynamically, suitable for automated reporting or status tracking.
