Make check boxes fillable in Word for iPad.

Check boxes should be workable in Word for iPad. This feature would make mobile experience better when filling in forms required for our inspectors work.

    It doesn’t work on mine (Jan 2021) and it’s ridiculous to be honest that I’m not able to complete a word document form for my employer on a version of word where I paid for a license. No drop down options, tick boxes or shaded fields I can complete. Shoddy

    Crazy this doesn’t work yet. Even the simplest apps use check boxes easily.
    How about multiple instances of word open at the same time?

    I have an iPad Pro, software version 12.4, and an office 365 subscription.
    Filling check boxes on the iPad doesn't work,
    The whole idea in using the iPad was to fill check lists when out of the office and it doesn't work.

    It would very much appreciated if you could make check boxes available on iPad. It is for educational purposes.

    How?
    I have an Office 365 subscription and still it does not seem possible to tick a box...

    This still is NOT working!!! Nobody can see it if you look at all the comments here - it says it exists, but clearly the public isn't able to use it. PLEASE make it work correctly.

    You say it "includes support for checkboxes" but does this mean you can ADD a fillable checkbox item from within the iOS app? or does it just mean you can copy / paste it over or maybe just view them?

    We still can't find a way to add a fillable checkbox within the app and it's been almost a year since this was marked Completed.

    Checkboxes is a really important function when making a table. Please can you add it to the Ipad version of excel?
