Default checkboxes in word "forms" or docs

Word 2002 SP3
Win XP HE SP1

Hi,

I would like to know how to insert a "checkbox" into a document so that
the reader can just "check" the box or "tick" it whether he prints it
and faxes it back or does it by opening up the Word doc and checking the
box there--filling out a form--and email it back.

I've seen the control tool box but it seems to want an underlying macro
for the box, etc.; it adds VBA to the doc. I'm not sure that's what I
want. The user might get a security warning when opening the doc, etc.;
and if dealing with unsophisticated recipients, they might think virus
threat, etc.

Plus these boxes seem difficult to handle and align on same line as
text, etc.

Even if I just use a basic "square" box; I can design it but that also
is difficult to handle and align with the text, etc.

Maybe I need a good tutorial....?
