Checklists in Word for the web

(Originally posted February 22, 2024 By ~ Rahul Gosain)

Hello, Microsoft 365 Insiders! I’m Rahul Gosain, a product manager on the Word team, and I’m excited to share that you can now insert checklists into your Word documents for the web.

Checklists are now available in Word for the web.

Checklists are simple yet powerful tools that help you stay organized, focused, and productive. They are especially useful in situations where you need to make sure that required steps are completed and that standards and procedures are being followed correctly. They can also be used to track progress and encourage the formation of new habits.

Using a checklist can help you remember the steps you need to complete and stop worrying about forgetting to do something. It can also save you time by making it easier to follow certain steps and reducing the chance of errors. And it can give you a sense of satisfaction and accomplishment when you check items off your list.

How it works

2. Place the cursor where you want to add the checklist in your document or tap and select it. house > Checklist Or press Ctrl key + , (comma).
3. To mark a task as complete, select or tap the square icon to the left of each checklist item. Ctrl key + Alternative + Enter.
