Please?

Need to send a form back to someone today, asap, so can't print it out and send it. I could print it out, tick manually, and scan it back in I suppose, but thought there MUST be a way of ticking boxes on the pc...

Can anyone help urgently please? Paperwork need emailing off straight away

I think you can use "insert" from your menu at the top and then choose symbol....you should find a tick there somewhere.

Yup, after doing what McD suggests, select Wingdings as your font, and scroll down almost to the bottom - there's a tick lurking down there

Or I think Monotype Sorts font - press number 4 and that's a tick

(I think)

I didn't know this....
I found Webdings A key is a tick...
and the Marlett A key as well

Surely no one will mind if you use an X instead? I always do.

Well it said tick.. so I wanted to use one. An X seems to indicate the opposite of a tick when they ask you to use a tick specifically... but I could just be fussy..

I did it by going to Insert, then to Symbols, then a box came up with included square root type of tick.. so I used that. It sufficed nicely,

Thank you
