i was just wondering if there is some document class that provides
support to create multiple choice tests or if there is a trick to create
some boxes in "common" document classes, where one can tick the correct
answer. I just didn't find anything suitable.
I'm running Lyx 1.4.3 on MAC OS 10.4.8 (if this is important...)
You might try the following. In Document->Settings...->LaTeX Preamble,
add \usepackage{bbding} (and, of course, install the bbding package if
you don't already have it). In Documents->Settings...->Bullets, click
the box for first level bullets, select Custom, delete the contents of
the input box and replace it with \Square. Then just use an itemization
list for the answers. In the GUI you'll still see an asterisk, but in
the output document each answer will be preceded by a decently large
hollow square.
There are other options (large circles, etc.) if you do not like the
squares, but they may use packages other than bbding.
