Default Insert Symbol - Shaded box ??

Is there a font somewhere I can use to insert a shaded box into a Word
document? A simple empty square is okay, but a shaded box seems a little
classier. I've looked through what I have and can't find what I'm looking
for, although I think I was able to do it in the past ( - although maybe I
just did a cut and paste from someone else's 'box'.)

Anybody with a shaded box? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Bob

The symbols you seek are in the Wingdings font.

I _knew_ it was in there somewhere! Thanks for the key. Funny tho - it
doesn't look like a shaded box until it is selected and magnafied!
