Saving an Existing Document

[Roger]

Hello, I would really like to figure this one out but i
am new to playing with micrososft office. What i have
here is a document someone made up with Microsoft word.
We use to print it off and fill it in by hand . But now
they want me to use the document and fill it in on my
computer. How can i save this document so the original
text that is on it does not change when i try to put a
symbol in. Example we use to put a check mark
beside Heat ___ , with a checkmark over the underline
but when i try to put one in on my computer i get
Heat _*_ . What i figure since it is a word document
just saved i cant do what i want to do and add symbols .
How can i save this document so it will not change and i
can edit it to add symbols.

Thank- you very much Roger Marsden
