Key Takeaways
- Microsoft Office is a robust tool that provides a symbol library where you can easily insert the tick symbol.
- You may use the Using Emoji Panel to find and insert symbols, including a tick on Windows and Mac.
Method 1: Using Emoji Panel
Windows and Mac provide an emoji panel to access multiple emojis and symbols. This method is the fastest way to insert a tick symbol in Microsoft Word. Follow the steps below.
Step 1: Launch Microsoft Word.
Step 2: Click the document at the point you want to insert the symbol.
Step 3: On Windows, press the Windows key + . keys; on a Mac, press Command + Control + Spacebar.
Step 4 Now, search for and click on the Tick symbol.
Method 2: Using the Symbol Command
With Symbol Command on Microsoft Office, users can add any symbol in PowerPoint, Word, or Excel. Here’s what to do:
Step 1: Launch any Microsoft Office app.
Step 2: Place your cursor on the part of the document where you need the tick symbol.
Step 3: Click on the Insert tab.
Step 4: Select the drop-down beside Symbol.
Step 5: Check for the tick symbol on the drop-down. If it is absent, click on More Symbols.
Step 6: A dialog box should open. Select the drop-down beside the Font tab.
Step 7: Scroll down until you locate Wingdings.
Step 8: On the column for Character code, type 252 or 254 (depending on your preferred tick symbol), which should bring up the tick symbol.
Step 9: Select Insert to have the tick symbol show up on your document.
You may use the Insert menu to insert audio, spreadsheets, or other elements on Word.
Method 3: Using the ALT Shortcut
The ALT shortcut offers a quick way to insert the tick symbol into Microsoft Office documents. However, this requires memorizing the character code as each symbol on Office is mapped to a unique code. Your keyboard also needs a numerical keypad.
Step 1: Place your cursor on the part of the text to insert the tick symbol.
Step 2: On the Home page of your Office document, change the font in the font tab to Wingdings.
Step 3: Hold down the Alt key on your keyboard using the numerical keypad on your keyboard, and enter any of the following codes:
- ALT + 0254
- ALT + 0252
Method 4: Using the Bullet Library
The bullet library on Office documents contains some symbols, including the tick symbol. When you insert symbols from the bullet library in Word, it treats them like a bullet. You cannot apply this method in Excel, as bullet points are unavailable.
Step 1: On Word, place your cursor on the part of your text where you need the tick symbol.
Step 2: Click on the Bullets drop-down located in the Paragraph group.
Step 3: Under Bullet Library, a tick symbol should show. If it is absent, select Define New Bullet.
Step 4: In the new dialog box, click on Symbol. This launches the Symbol Dialog box.
Step 5: Select the drop-down menu beside Font.
Step 6: Scroll through the list of fonts until you identify Wingdings.
Step 7: Select the tick symbol and click on OK to save the selection.
Step 8: Click OK in the Define New Bullet window to insert the tick symbol into your document.
Following the steps above saves the tick symbol in your bullet library.
Method 5: Using the Character Map App
On Windows, you can copy the tick symbols from the Character Map setting and paste them into an Office document. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Search for and open Character Map using the Windows Search.
Step 2: Click on the drop-down menu beside Font.
Step 3: Scroll through the font types until you see Wingdings. You can also type Wingdings to get faster results.
Step 4: Scroll through the symbols displayed under Wingdings until you identify the tick symbol.
Step 5: Click on the tick symbol > Select.
Step 6: Select Copy once the tick symbol shows under Characters to Copy.
Step 7: Paste the tick symbol on the document you’re working on.
