Someone has sent me a Word form with boxes in which to check or put an

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.


Do you mean an x in a squared frame? For this you can select the x,
and apply Format / Borders and Shading/(Borders) - click "box".
