Adding Checkbox in MS Office Word 2007

Recently I was scratching my head to find a way to add checkbox in MS Office Word 2007, It took me a while to find the solution. If you have also stumbled on this problem, you can follow these steps:

Click on the Microsoft Office button (on the left top corner) in MS Word 2007, then click on "Word Options" in the drop down list. From the Word Options window select the "Popular" Page. Check the box next to "Show Developer tab in the Ribbon" and click ok.

Now click on the Developer Tab that will appear on the MS Word 2007 Ribbon. Select the location where you want the checkbox and then click on Legacy Tools (in the "Controls" panel) and select checkbox.
