Type the number 2713 or 2714 in the document and then press Alt+X. The first
one gives you a lighter checkmark, the second one a bolder checkmark.

If you want a checkmark in a box, use the number 2611 (and the empty box is
2610).

In general, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/InsertSpecChars.htm.
