G'Day Jo,

Use:
Insert>Symbol
Choose Font: Wingdings
Scroll down near the end to see a good tick,
OR
Type in
221a
then ALT + X
to get a 'sort of' tick (actually a square root sign).

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these. This includes a method to put in a tick mark without the box if
you want.

If you don't want them to be changing when clicked on, then Insert > Symbol.
