The challenge is to have a form that looks as professional as possible in
both written and electronic format; with a circle symbol, a printed form
would look professional and easy to use, but the electronic version would
require the user to replace one symbol with an X (and heavens forbid that
the person change their mind, they'd have to delete the X and may feel
compelled to copy over an empty circle symbol, and so on). Although
everything is in a table now (and therefore, columns, per your suggestion)
the cell borders are set to "no line" to keep the page looking clean and
professional. A user could enter an X electronically, but if the page is
printed (without cell borders) then the user doesn't have any visual guide
on where to mark their responses.
Alternatively, is there anything that could be done with fields (I haven't
worked with them, so I'm not sure what can be done) maybe where the symbol
is in each field (in each column), but if the user clicks on the field it
automatically replaces the symbol with whatever they type?
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Keith

How does the recipient of the survey responses read them? By eyeballing,
or
with code? If the former, there is an unpretty but simple alternative:
ask
your respondents to type an X to indicate a "yes" response in a
particular
column.
