Hi and welcome to TSF.

Using Word, you can choose a checkbox from the forms toolbar - when checked it appears as an "x" rather than a tick (checkmark).

how about in excel?? There doesnt appear to be a way to manipulate the object that is printed when you click on the box?

There's no option for such a checkbox in Excel - ticks are all you get. You would need to do something like create a blank text box and use some code to validate any input to limit that to the letter X. Or just use a single cell...
