my boss got word that i am a web developer. however he does not realize that i am only an amatuer web developer and not the computer genious he percieves me to be. for some reason people think i know everything about everything when it comes to computers. unfortunately i do not. and yes i have tried explaining that to him. needless to say he tasked me with figuring out how to add a clickable check box on a power point slide. he has several tasks on one slide and wants to put a check next to each one once hes done with it. we dont have an it guy here otherwise i would have referred him there. i am not familiar at all with power point. how could i go about doing this? its power point 2007. thanks

If you go to File > Options > Customise the ribbon and tick "Developer Tab"

You will be able to add a checkbox from the developer toolbox. It will tick and untick in show mode but you would need to add code if it nedds to do more.

If you use animation (and it's a little tricky) be aware that the check box will not stay ticked when the presentation closes.
