I'm creating forms in Word 2003 and wanting to change the default

there mentions changing it to a tick.
Sorry, the X is all you get from the form field. The toolbar button image
has nothing to do with it.
You can get the character you want in the Wingdings 2 font, if you can use
the system of checkboxes and macros used in the Fax templates -- see

Checkbox Add-in at
