Default Checkbox bullets in Word 2003

I recently switched from Word 97 to Word 2003 and am having a lot of
trouble adjusting to the differences between the two programs.

For example, in Word 97, one of the bullet options was a little symbol
that looked like a tiny checkbox.

But the Bullets and Numbering menu in Word 2003 doesn't seem to include
that particular bullet.

How may I get that bullet back on the Bullets and Numbering menu?

In the Customize Bulleted List dialog, click Character. Choose the Wingdings
font and select your checkbox.

Many thanks!

Wing Dings?! Why didn't I think of that? ;o)
