the checkbox from a "X" to a tick.

Please help!

If the form needs to be a protected form because you've also used
other items from the Forms toolbar, then you're stuck -- the Forms
check box can't do anything other than X.

If the form has only check boxes and text, then see
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/Add_Toggle_Ojects.htm for an alternative.

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. The forms checkbox will not accept a tick mark, only an X. Take a look
at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/downl...#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these.
