Hello!

I would like to check a checkbox in Word and have it only show some text content when the box is checked.



I have attempted to do this with IF statements and bookmarks, but I have not been able to get it to do what I want.

Even just trying to reference the checkbox is proving to be difficult:

{IF check = ☒ "CHECKED" "UNCHECKED"}
Where the title and tag of the checkbox are 'check', and the ☒ is a content control checkbox.

Any steering in the right direction would be helpful!

Do you think that this would be better as a macro?

You would need to use a ContentControlOnExit macro to test the checkbox state and modify a Document variable or bookmark so your IF test can evaluate that.
