New Checkbox

Hi, Bruce Croza

Thank you for using Microsoft products and posting them to the community.

I understand you're having trouble with "Can't find the new checkbox function." I understand the problem and would like to help you better in your situation.

What version of Office do you have? Also are you not finding the feature in the developer toolbar? Or do you not have the developer feature turned on?

This Microsoft support article below may help you:

And about how to open the developer tools:

This feature is available to Beta Channel users running Version 2310 (Build 196924.2000) or later. But sometimes, new features are initially rolled out to users in the Beta Channel of the Microsoft Insider program. If you’re not in the Beta Channel, you might not see the feature yet. Even within the Beta Channel, features are often released to a random selection of users first. If you’re not among this group, you may need to wait until it’s available to all Beta users. You can refer to explanation for this issue here:

I do not see the new Insert Check Box option in the Insert Tab. What - Microsoft Community

By the way, the ribbon can be customized, and sometimes features can be added or removed from view. Check if the checkbox option needs to be manually added to the ribbon: How to customize the ribbon in Office - Microsoft Support

I hope the above information can help you. Feel free to submit a post if you need further assistance.
