Choose the Webdings font, and a lowercase "a" should be a trick!
...or just stick an X in the box!
It scares me how many companies use word to simply copy a paper form, and expect you to behave in the same way. Typical examples are rows of underscores where you are expected to type information [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
Do you realy want to work for a buffoon organisation

Scooby Snax,
hey - i am looking for a job n'all
To be honest, if i was asked to fill in such an application form, i would include a cover letter (politely) explaining the potential improvements that they could make!
Mumble years ago, when i was in an interview on the University Milk Round, i commented on the fact that the CV form you had to fill in had an area the size of a postage stamp for your O and A-levels, but half an A4 page for your post-graduate qualifications - for a (potential) graduate position!
Turns out that my interviewer was one of the guys who designed the form in the first place, took my comments on board and i got the job (although not necessarily because of that!).
If they get upset about their own mistakes, then you are better off not working for them!!
