Default Overstrike - X in a box

I know where Overstrike is buried, but my question is: How do you put an X
in a pre-existing box?

Someone has sent me a Word form with boxes in which to check or put an X.
I've tried to follow the instructions athttp://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/Overbar.htm, but they don't help in this
situation when someone else has created the document and all I want to do is
put an X in a box. Is there a simple way to do this, similar to
WordPerfect's Format|Typesetting|Overstrike? I'm using Word 2003.


"Overstrike" is buried in Insert Fields Equations, but that would
seem like overkill.

Maybe the boxes are characters in Wingdings or some such, and you can
replace them with filled boxes from the same symbol font.
