Inserting a check mark (✓) is useful for creating checklists, surveys, and forms. MS Word makes it easy to insert a check mark symbol using different methods.

Here’s how to insert a check mark:

  1. Using the Symbol Menu:
    • Go to the “Insert” tab and click on “Symbol.”
    • In the “Symbol” dialog box, select “More Symbols” and search for the check mark symbol (you can find it under the Unicode character code 2713).
  2. Using Keyboard Shortcuts:
    • You can insert a check mark by typing 2713 and pressing Alt + X. This will convert the code into a check mark symbol.
  3. Using the Wingdings Font:
    • Change the font to “Wingdings” and type ü (lowercase “u”). This will insert a check mark symbol.

Check marks are a great way to indicate completion, options, or items that need attention in your documents.
