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:
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
