Populate Word Document with Check Boxes

Posted on by FlatFish

Hi everyone,

I am aware that Microsoft does not currently allow the functionality to click check boxes from a form, but I found this post from 3 years ago that explains a workaround. Solved: Populate Word with Checkbox - Power Platform Community (microsoft.com)

I followed this video and created a flow just like it Microsoft Forms to PDF without Premium Actions in Power Automate - YouTube

I have a document loaded into SharePoint with all the respective column names and an exact replica of the flow he showed in this video.

See below for what I tried to add.

On reply 15/18 I tried to replicate and add in a condition as that user did way back, but rather than the checked box populating the template where the document property quick part is; the word "yes" or "no" populates it. I am unable to change the template and it needs to be a check box. There are multiple check boxes, but if I could get one functioning correctly I could get the rest.

If anyone could assist that would be great.

Hi Jag,

Check out the first link in my post. I wasn't able to replicate it and get it working as expected, but I did make somewhat decent progress and was half-way there. I stopped working on it as I changed jobs actually.

The post from 3 years ago may help you as I was on my way to figuring it out.

Thanks,

Hi @jsbev,

Not sure if paid solutions would work for you, but Plumsail Documents has a checkbox formatter that you can add to a Word document, and then enter dynamic content into it directly from a form.

Here's an article showing how it can be used:
How to populate Word with checkbox in Power Automate (Microsoft Flow), Azure Logic Apps, and PowerApps — Plumsail Documents

I hope this helps!

Hey Community,

Does anyone find a solution for this requirement of bringing the user-selected checkbox into a Word document dynamically?

Work Flow required:
Quick Parts in Word Template from Sharepoint-->Power Apps Form -->Power Automate

To generate a dynamic Word doc based on user inputs(Especially CheckBox not working).

Kindly help if anyone has this found.
