sorry i didn't mean to bother you i am just starting to do this and
i didn't
quite know how to explain it. All i was looking for is the green
checkmark -

"The green checkmark" is WHERE? You are asking your question in an
Outlook newsgroup. The title of the newsgroup specifies the topic(s)
covered by that newsgroup. So where in OUTLOOK is this "green
checkmark"?

i thought maybe I had to insert it when I got my question answered.
I keep
seeing these checkmarks over the red questions mark. Once again I am
sorry.

We are not there looking over your shoulder. You need to specify
where in Outlook or what you do in Outlook to generate the effect that
you are describing.

Also, there are different versions of Outlook because there are
different features in them. You need to specify which version of
Outlook with which you are having difficulties.
