I'll give you the bad news first: while LyX/LaTeX can be forced to do this sort of thing, it really isn't the optimal tool for it. LyX excels at typsetting manuscripts, not poster-style page layout (this is why the two carriage returns don't work - one doesn't do that sort of thing in a printed manuscript). If you are using Linux/UNIX, I would suggest trying a drawing tool like xfig to prepare your questionaire. It's trivial to lay out your lines, checkboxes, and text with it. If you really want to do it with LyX, you will need a fair amount of raw LaTeX code to make it look right, and since you mentioned that you were new to LaTeX, it will not be a quick learning process. By using hrules, fboxes, and phantoms (or picture environments to avoid the above), you can set up the lines and checkboxes you need, but again, it will be messy. Good luck. Try xfig, or ask here again - there are a number of wizards here who could probably give you a template for what you want in a hurry, but it won't be pretty.
