Whether you’re organizing your daily tasks, planning an event, or just trying to keep track of your to-do items, creating a checklist can be incredibly helpful. I'll show you a few simple steps to create your own customizable checklist in Microsoft Word, and we’ll even cover some tips to make your list even more functional and visually appealing. So, if you're ready to get more organized, let’s jump right into it.
The first thing you need to do is display the Microsoft Word developer tab by doing the following if it isn't visible already.
Step 1. Open the Microsoft Word document you want to make a checklist in.
Step 2. Click "File" in the list of options along the top of the screen. Click "More" in this menu to see additional options, and then click "Options" in the expanded menu. A Word Options window pops up.
Step 3. Choose "Customize Ribbon" on the left side of this window. Options to customize your Word ribbon are shown on the right side of this window.
Step 4. Find the Customize This Ribbon section. Scroll down this section until you find Developer, and then click to place a check mark next to "Developer." Click "OK" after doing this. You'll now see the Developer tab in the Microsoft Word ribbon.
Now let's walk through the steps to make a checklist in your Microsoft Word document.
Step 1. Click to select "Developer" in menu along the top of your screen.
Step 2. Click to place the cursor where you want to insert your first check box. Navigate to the Controls section in the Developer ribbon, and then click "Check Box Content Control." A check box will be inserted.
Repeat this process to add as many check boxes as you want. After you're done adding check boxes and you have your checklist, you check items off by clicking to place an X in the check box.
If you want to change the styling of your checklist check boxes, you can highlight your checklist and then click "Properties" in the Developer ribbon. The Content Control Properties window opens. This is where you can change the checked and unchecked symbols, as well as other options for your Microsoft Word checklist.

Hi Max. Your tips are for MS Word on a PC only. MS Word on a Mac is similar but not the same.
