Do you need to be able to tick and untick those check boxes directly by clicking it? In that case: View → Toolbars → Form controls → Select the tick box you want → Draw it wherever you want. → Right click it to edit preferences. Are the check boxes supposed to be ticked after they are printed out? Just use those characters: ☐ (unticked check box - U+2610) ☑ (ticked check box - U+2611) ☒ (ticked check box - U+2612) Should be included in most fonts. I actually have two of these on my keyboard (after tweaking my keyboard layout) and I can access them by AltGr+x and AltGr+Shift+x respectively (on US keyboards AltGr is the right Alt key, I think). If you can't access these characters, just copy them from this email and paste them into your document.☑ If you can't see any check boxes above, you are not using the right character encoding (should be UTF-8).
