Can a check box form field be displayed as a check mark?

When I use the forms toolbar to add a check box form field to my Word
document an "x" always appears in the box when I click on it. Can you set it
up so that when you click in the box a check mark appears instead?

There's no simple way to do it - kinda makes you wonder why they called it a
"checkbox" instead of an "Xbox"... But I guess they had future plans for the
latter ;) Perhaps it can be done through VBA, but I'm not sure.
