| 715007 | 2008-10-26 23:20:00 | Can anyone tell me where in the symbols fields I can find the CHECK BOX symbol. The on-line computer course I am doing says it is in "wingdings". I can find plenty of box- like symbols, but none-when inserted into a document-will allow me to go inside it to put in a tick or dot mark. | Graham Young (13101) | ||

Click the Check box to insert - Whole path Shown Here (www.imagef1.net.nz). It will put a check box where ever the cruiser is. To make it a feature always available, drag and drop the box to the tool bar location Example (www.imagef1.net.nz) |

| 715009 | 2008-10-27 00:07:00 | Hi. Or do you mean the 'tick, itself; It's in 'Insert', 'Symbol', (Font) 'Arial Unicode MS', row approx 163 (when 'Subset' is listed as 'Dingbats'). Cheers. And there are a range of 'boxes' in each of (Font) 'Monotype Sorts', 'Symbols', 'Times New Roman' and (yes) 'Wingdings'. Cheers. |

| 715010 | 2008-10-27 03:43:00 | Thanks wainuitech. I did as you instructed, but am still unable to use it as a check (or tick) box. I am unable to insert anything into it (as with the other boxes previously mentioned). Please help further if possible. | Graham Young (13101) | ||
| 715011 | 2008-10-27 05:44:00 | You can make it so the check Boxes are able to have a cross in , on the forms tool bar, click the lock to enable, then they can be ticked ( Xed), if you notice the formatting now grays out Example 1 before locked (www.imagef1.net.nz) & Example 2 locked and Xed (www.imagef1.net.nz) Note: this is not my field of daily work :) I know there is a way to make ticks instead of X's , just have to look it up. Hope this is what you want. After thought - there is another way to add in check boxes --- View > Toolbars > Control Toolbox, the check box appears, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to change the default text -- Brains in off mode still :waughh: |
