how do i insert a cross box?

[diana]

in word 2007

Word 2007 can insert tickboxes.
in Developer tab, in Controls group, click Legacy Tools, click ActiveX checkbox

I would like to add a cross-box ie a box with a cross
and be interactive as well
ie a toggle double click inserts a cross
double click removes the cross
do you know how i can do this easily in Word?

pls see screen capture

thank you

One option is to use the check box from Legacy Tools > Legacy Forms:

But that will only work if you protect the document for forms.

Otherwise, you'd have to use regular characters in combination with some code - see Add Interactive Toggle Objects to Word Documents on Greg Maxey's website.
