Adding Checkmark Symbols Icons, etc.

[Anon]

How do I add a check mark and crossed out circle symbols to a word document, preferrably in color? I'm looking for something that can be accessed from the insert menu, and not something like a font set. Resorting to clipart is the only other thing I know to do

More importantly where do I get stuff like that.

In the Insert>Symbol dialog, select the Wingdings2 font and you will find
what you need. After inserting them, you can use Format>Font to change the
color to your requirements.

Thanks Doug. That worked great!

Doug has told you how to do what you asked. You may want to explore active
(clickable) checkboxes, as well. There are a number of ways to create and
use clickable checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or
locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available
at http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an
exploration of these.
