Right click the check box and select Edit Text then just delete the caption.

When I put check boxes in a document by using the forms toolbar, the check
box number is entered in the cell along with the box itself. I thought
the
box number was just for my reference, but when I printed the document, the
box numbers printed as well. Is there any way to hide or remove the box
numbers?

Thank you!
