Answer 1

FWIW, the help text you posted does not apply to check box form fields, but rather Comments.
What you need to do is change the Check Box Style, which can be set to Check, Circle, Cross, Diamond, Square, or Star.
To do so manually, open the DPF, select "Forms > Add or Edit Fields", select one or more of the check boxes, right-click and select Properties, go to the Options tab, and select the style you want from the Check Box Style drop-down.
