View->Tollbars->Forms
will bring up the "Forms" toolbar. There is a checkbox there you can use.
Click on the checkbox button and then click in the sheet area. When you want
to edit the checkbox, right click it.

Not quite what you asked, but I find this technique pretty easy...
Select the range
Format|cells|number tab|custom category
In the "type:" box, put this:
alt-0252;alt-0252;alt-0252;alt-0252
But hit and hold the alt key while you're typing the 0252 from the numeric
keypad.
It should look something like this when you're done.
ü;ü;ü;ü
(umlaut over the lower case u separated by semicolons)
And format that range of cells as Wingdings.
Now, no matter what you type (spacebar, x, anyoldtextatall), you'll see a check
mark.
Hit the delete key on the keyboard to clear the cell.
If you have to use that "checkmark" in later formulas:
=if(a1="","no checkmark","Yes checkmark")
=counta(a1:a10)
would tell you how many "checkmarks" you have in A1:A10.
And you can always filter for that funny character.
