Checkboxes are objects which float on top of the spreadsheet, and therefore
are not tied to particular cells.

You insert a checkbox by opening the Control toolbar and drawing the box to
suit your needs. You will see in the formula bar something like the
following: =EMBED("Forms.CheckBox.1","")

I'm probably an idiot but I can only find a control which allows a 'floating'
box, and not one which refers to specific cells.
