Hello Estelita,

If you are using the term "tick mark" interchangeably with "checkmark" then 
if in a dialog box in Word you can use the spacebar to check or uncheck 
items.  However, sometimes the ticks are on lines where you can't use the 
spacebar for checking or removing checks from items.  What generally works 
is to use the JAWS cursor.  If you are using a desktop configuration with 
the number pad then first move to the line where the item is that needs 
ticked.  If you can not move there with the PC cursor then route the JAWS 
cursor to the PC cursor by using the keystroke of the insert key on the 
number pad with the minus key on the number pad.  The insert key is the very 
bottom left key of the number pad and the minus is the very top right key. 
After routing the JAWS cursor, use navigational keys to move to the line 
where the tick mark is that needs ticked.  When on the appropriate line use 
the home key to move to the beginning of that line.  Check the current word 
and if it is not the tick mark then move with navigational keystrokes across 
the line to find the mark.  When focus is on the mark then use the number 
pad slash key.  The slash is the second key from the left on the top row of 
the number pad.  This left mouse click can normally be used to tick or 
remove the tick mark from items in a list.  When done, remember to turn PC 
cursor on by pressing the number pad plus key, which is the second key from 
the top on the right side of the number pad.

If I am not understanding your need then feel free to contact me off list 
with examples.

Take care.
