Change Checkbox (Activex Control) in Word 2007

In Word 2007, I am trying to use the default activex control. I would like the text color to change after someone marks it.

I know how to do this with VBA and the checkbox formfield, but how can this be done with a checkbox (active control)?

Soon, is there any way to restore properties or other information about an ActiveX control object?

I think this answer is too late for the questioner, no matter how I post it for those who later run into this issue.

IF you know how to change the color of a checkbox in VBA, then you can do that in a word as well. All you have to do is insert a checkbox, which you can code yourself. for this.



  • Create a developer tab in MS Word by clicking the "Word" button in the upper left corner of the MS WORD 07 window; Select "Advanced"; Select "Popular"; then in the window that opens, check the box containing the "Developer" tab.

  • Now go to the Developer tab, find the management group and open it, click on the legacy tools drop down menu. Click the More Controls button in the lower-left corner of the Legacy Tools dropdown menu. A new window will open.

  • Scroll down the page to find the Micrsoft Forms 2.0checkbox option.

  • Click to select it and you're done. You will receive a checkbox where your cursor was blinking before you start this process.

  • This checkbox is very similar to the checkbox from VB. Now if you know VBA codes and want to change checkbox properties like color etc. Take a look at the management group in the developer tab. Click Development Mode. Now DOUBLE CLICK CHECK BOX AND VB CODING FORM OPEN WHERE YOU CAN CODE.

  • If you don't know how to code in VB, you can make some useful changes to the checkbox. Single click on the checkbox and then click Properties just below the devloper tab.

  • Here you can make changes to properties.
