Symbols/Check boxes

[rebhel]

Hi all,
I looked to see if there was already a posting about this, but didn't see one.

I am trying to include check boxes in my text. (Under Insert in word, Symbol, the box). It is formatting as a question mark. Any help with this? Anyone had success?

Thank you so much for your advice!

I had this problem using an older version of Word. In my case, it was a particular problem when doing resume's. Mine didn't switch to question marks, but rather some other symbol (can't recall which).

Here's a reply I found online to the same issue. This response deals with OpenOffice (which is like Word). Perhaps it will solve your issue. www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=165065
