Insert check i box

[Guest]

I need to create check boxes where I can check off but can't figure out how
to get the box to accept anything in it. I've used the help key in Word 2003
but it doesn't tell me how to insert anything into the box.

You'd need to use a checkbox form field. In order for the form field to
respond (checked, unchecked by clicking), the document would need to be
protected as a form. Check the Help system for more on forms and
protecting/unprotecting.

Or, if this isn't exactly what you want, you can find a variety of checked,
x'd, and empty boxes in the various Webding and Wingding symbols fonts
(Insert - Symbol).

I got that to work but would like to have a check mark instead of an x in the
box. Is that possible.
