Fillable checkbox in pages?

Hi, I'd like to add a fillable or "checkable" check box in my pages document, can that be done and how?

Not supported. Because Pages is not a Word clone, it does not have a form builder that would allow you to create a check box or fillable form inline with body text. The Pages table facility does not offer a cell checkbox data format as does Numbers. Creating a cell rule that would validate if a ✓ character exists in a cell and change the cell color if it does, apparently does not work in Pages v12.1 either.


If you need this inline form capability, I would stick with MS Word.
