Thunderace,

in cell A33 enter the formula =CHAR(ROW()) and copy down to row 255

With the range still highlighted, change the font to Wingdings and you will
see the full Wingdings character set. Character 252 is a tick sign. You
can enter the tick in a cell either by the formula =CHAR(252) with the cell
font set to Wingdings or by holding the the Alt key while you enter 0252
from the number pad keys.

Also have a look to see the full charater set of the other fonts that you
have out of interest.

In the cell you want to show the CHECK-MARK
enter the letter "a" -- without the quotes
Then assign the font "Marlett"
