Insert Checkbox In Word Document

  I found I was unable to activate the developer toolbox, but I achieved essentially the same thing by opening a new MS Word document, going to Developer tab -> Controls, selecting the checkbox control and adding it to the page. I then copied this checkbox and pasted it into my email everywhere I wanted the recipients to nominate a response. They were able to check whichever check boxes they wanted by a single mouse click on each one.

  Does this tool work for the receiver?
  I want to make an email survey using check box by sending email to all my users and want them to reply me back checking in the box in the email.
  So, Is the check box functional even to the receiver side?
  Waiting for the reoply.
