2 From the Word Insert menu, choose Symbol.
The Word Symbol dialog opens.
3 Select the symbol to insert, for example, a box, and then click Insert.
4 Click Close.
5 Select the symbol and do one of the following:
▪If it is a numeric or open-ended Look, apply the mr Question Answer identification character style.
▪If it is a numeric grid Look, apply the mr Numeric Grid Answer identification character style.
6 Format the symbol as you want it to appear when you apply the Look to a question.
