How to show a rectangle in a SQL report

Does anyone know how I can display a rectangle in the rendered SQL report?
I need this to assist the users of the report to have an area in the printed
report column so that they could do a manual check mark or some kind of a
mark on the rows of the report. I tried to place an image but it slows the
report rendering. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,
SDRoyIf you are using a table you could do this:
1.In one of the text boxes, drag a rectangle. This will allow you to
drop other items within the texbox/rectangle.
2. Within that rectangle, draw another rectangle to be the "checkbox".
3. Set the borders appropriately to display an outline (set top,
bottom, left, and right BorderStyle to Solid)
If you are free form designing a report with lists, just drop the
rectangle, resize, and set the borders as in above.
Let me know if I've misunderstood the requirements.
