Default quick excel question

is there a way in an excel worksheet to have a checkbox?

im thinking like a list of things, and check the ones i have, just by clicking the box.

Which version of excel do you have? I just got the 2007 and haven't figured it all out yet.. I did a quick search through help but came up empty.

What you could do is improvise.... reduce the width of the column you want to use as the checkmark box....and type in an "x" instead of a checkmark for items that are completed.

Yes I know for sure that you can. My partner at work is an Excel wiz and can do just about anything. The only thing is that I don't know how to do it myself. Anyways I think he uses Macro'* for the interface that is linked to the sheet that it populates. I know he does a bunch of programming with the Macro'* to achieve this. Just search how to use Macro'* in Excel.
