Thanks for the quick answer.
I have already seen in xml the check box with Value = 0.
Could you tell me, how i can access the node in the xml structure ?

You can get a check box like this.
$checked = '<w:sym w:font="Wingdings" w:char="F0FE"/>'; $unChecked = '<w:sym w:font="Wingdings" w:char="F0A8"/>';
And use 'setValue()' replace the $value
such as
$templateProcessor->setValue("name",$checked); $templateProcessor->setValue("hello",$unChecked);
And you will get a checkedbox on ${name} ,ge an unchecked box on ${hello}

This was my first test file:
` public function actionFolha(){
$templateProcessor = new \PhpOffice\PhpWord\TemplateProcessor(\Yii::$app->basePath . '\web\templates\template_grupo.docx' );

    $checked = '<w:sym w:font="Wingdings" w:char="F0FE"/>';
    $unChecked = '<w:sym w:font="Wingdings" w:char="F0A8"/>';

    $templateProcessor->setValue('data','04-3-17');
    $templateProcessor->setValue('horario','17:00 às 20:00');
    $templateProcessor->setValue('grupo','GrupoX');

    $templateProcessor->setValue('rec',$checked);
    $templateProcessor->setValue('ava',$unChecked);

    $templateProcessor->setValue('sumario','sd asdkasj daskjd hask dhaksd <w:br/> sadsakdhasd hkas dhasdk <w:br/>nsadjaskj dasld asl
    <w:br/>skdhsakjdhaskd haksd <w:br/> asdhaskjdhaskdhaskdh');

    $temp_file = tempnam(sys_get_temp_dir(), 'PHPWord');
    $templateProcessor->saveAs($temp_file);

    header("Pragma: public");
    header('Content-Type: application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document');
    header('Content-Disposition: attachment;filename="'.basename('myFile.docx').'"');
    header('Cache-Control: max-age=0');
    header('Content-Length: '.filesize($temp_file));

    ob_clean();
    flush();

        $chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); // how many bytes per chunk
        $buffer = '';
        $handle = fopen($temp_file, 'rb');
        if ($handle === false) {
            return false;
        }
        while (!feof($handle)) {
            $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
            print $buffer;
        }
    unlink($temp_file);
        return fclose($handle);

}`

and it worked as expected

Thanks for the sample code. I got it to work but actually it isnot really the checkbox we need. That code puts just small picture of checkbox not field one. You cannot interact with it later if you need. So this is just a temporary solutionat least for me.

[luistheone]

its a Wingdings symbol, i just need that way to print the docs, its not a real checkbox. Sorry it was not what you want

[ozilion]

Still needed very much. Could someone do anything else about to set checkbox value in template?
