You can easily insert a check mark (also known as a «tick mark») in Word, Outlook, Excel, or PowerPoint.

These marks are static symbols. If you’re looking for an interactive check box that you can click to check or uncheck, see: Add a check box or option button (Excel) or Make a checklist in Word.

In your file, place the cursor where you want to insert the symbol.
Open the Symbol dialog box:

In the grid of symbols, the check mark is selected. Another check-mark option is available two squares away from it (character code 254).
Select the check mark you want. Click Insert. Then click Close to dismiss the dialog box.
Once the check mark has been inserted, you may change its size or color. Select the check mark, right-click it, and make your desired changes by using the floating toolbar:

1. Inserting a check mark by inserting bullets

If you want to insert a check mark at the beginning of one or more paragraphs, you can apply custom bullets using the Wingdings font (or a similar font).

To apply check marks as custom bullets to paragraphs:

Select the paragraph(s) to which you want to add check marks.
Click the Home tab in the Ribbon.
In the Paragraph group, click the arrow beside Bullets. A drop-down menu appears.
Click Define New Bullet. A dialog box appears.
Click Symbol. A dialog box appears.
Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.
Click the desired check mark.
Click OK.
Click Font. A Font dialog box appears.
Select the desired font color and size. This dialog box offers the same options as the regular Font dialog box.
Click OK twice.

The check marks will be added at the beginning of the paragraph(s).

In the Define New Bullet dialog box (below), you can select Symbol, Font or Picture:

The following characters appear when you select Wingdings as the Symbol font for bullets:

In the Define New Bullet dialog box, you can select Picture and then navigate to a picture you want to use as a bullet and then double-click it.

2. Inserting a check mark using Insert Symbol

If you want to add a check mark in a line of text (or at the end of a line of text), you can use Insert Symbol.

To insert a check mark using Insert Symbol in the Ribbon in Word:

Position the cursor in the Word document where you want to insert a check mark.
Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.
Click More Symbols. A dialog box appears.
If necessary, click the Symbols tab.
Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.
Scroll through the list of symbols until you find the check mark symbol you want to use and then click it.
Click Insert.
Click Close.

Once the check mark has been inserted, you can change its size or color using the Home tab in the Ribbon or by right-clicking and selecting formatting options from the mini-toolbar.

In the example below, Wingdings is selected in the Symbol dialog box:

3. Inserting a check mark using a custom Word keyboard shortcut

If you insert a check mark frequently, you can create your own keyboard shortcut for the check mark symbol.

To create a keyboard shortcut for a check mark:

Position the cursor in a Word document.
Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.
Click More Symbols. A dialog box appears.
If necessary, click the Symbols tab.
Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.
Scroll through the list of symbols until you find the check mark symbol you want to use and then click it.
Click Shortcut. A dialog box appears.
Click in the box below Assign New Shortcut key.
Press the keys you want to assign (such as Ctrl + Alt + M). Don’t type any text, just press the keys. Be careful not to override a useful built-in shortcut such as Ctrl + C.
Click Assign. Typically the location for these shortcuts is the Normal (or default) template.
Click Close twice.

Test the shortcut in your document by pressing the assigned keys.

The Customize Keyboard dialog box appears as follows:

Since these shortcuts are typically saved in the Normal template, when you exit Word, if you are prompted to save the Normal template, click Yes.

4. Inserting a check mark using an AutoCorrect shortcut

You can also insert a check mark automatically using AutoCorrect.

To set up an AutoCorrect entry for a check mark:

Position the cursor in a Word document.
Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.
Click More Symbols. A dialog box appears.
If necessary, click the Symbols tab.
Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.

In the Replace box, enter the name of the entry (such as cm1).
Click Add.
Click OK.
Click Close.

To insert the entry in the document, type the entry (such as cm1) and then press the Spacebar.

The AutoCorrect dialog box appears as follows:

Since these shortcuts are typically saved in the Normal template, when you exit Word, you should be prompted to save it.

5. Inserting a check mark using an Alt keyboard shortcut

You can press the Alt key in combination with numbers on the numeric keypad to insert a check mark symbol.

To insert a check mark symbol in a Word document using Alt:

Position the cursor where you want to insert the check mark symbol.
Press Alt + 0252 or Alt + 0254 on the numeric keypad. If the sequence doesn’t work, press NumLock on the numeric keypad. Word will insert a different character.
Select the character, click the Home tab in the Ribbon and select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu.

If you want to create clickable check boxes, you could create a Word form using controls or create a dynamic form using Microsoft Forms.

A check mark ✓ (or checkbox ☑) is a symbol used to indicate the concept of “yes” in the English language.

In this tutorial, you will learn how to type the checkmark symbol in Microsoft Word using the keyboard or mouse.

NOTE: Different application has different methods for typing the checkmark symbol. I will teach you how to type the checkmark symbol in Word in this post. Later, I’ll write on how it can be typed on other Office Applications in a separate blog post.

Without any further ado, let’s get started.

In Word, there are several ways available for you to type the checkmark symbol.

In this section, I’ll go through each one of these methods one after the other.

Let’s begin with the easiest options.

Type check mark symbol in Word using Alt Code

The alt code to type the checkbox symbol in Word is 10003. Use 10004 for a heavy checkmark.

To use this alt code type the check mark symbol in Word, obey the following instructions:

Place the cursor where you want to type the checkmark.
Press and hold the Alt key on your keyboard.
While pressing down the Alt key, type the checkmark alt code which is 10003 or 10004 for a heavy checkmark. For this to work, you must use the numeric keypad on the right side of your keyboard.
After typing the checkmark symbol alt code, release the Alt key.

As soon as you release the alt key, the symbol will be inserted at the cursor’s current location in your document.

This is how you may use the check mark symbol alt code in Microsoft Word.

Using Keyboard Shortcut to type Checkmark in Word

The Keyboard shortcut for check mark symbol in Microsoft Word is 2713, Alt+X.

Note: this checkmark symbol shortcut works only in Microsoft Word.

Below is a step by step guide on how to use this shortcut to type the check mark symbol into your Word document:

First of all, place the insertion pointer at where you wish to type the checkmark.
Next, type the checkmark alt code which is 2713.
After typing the alt code, highlight it and press Alt+X on your keyboard.

As soon as you press the Alt+X shortcut, the checkmark alt code (2713) will convert into the check mark symbol.

This is how you may type the check-mark sign in Word using the alt code keyboard shortcut.

Using the Symbol’s dialog

Aside from typing the check mark symbol with the keyboard shortcut, there is also a mouse-based approach to get this symbol into your Word document.

Just obey the following instructions:

Place the cursor where you want to insert the checkmark.
Go to the Insert tab.

In the Symbols group, select Symbol>More Symbols.

The Symbol dialog box will appear. On this dialog box, click on the Font: drop-down and select Wingdings 2 from the list. More advanced symbols will appear. Locate the Checkmark symbol from these symbols and double-click on it to insert it into your document. Alternatively, just click to select it and then hit the Insert button.

NOTE: If you need to insert this symbol often in your document, you don’t have to go through all these steps each time you need it. Instead, copy it to your clipboard and hit Ctrl+V to paste it whenever the need arises.

This is how you may get the check mark symbol in Word using the insert symbol dialog box.

Adding Clickable and non-clickable check marks in Word

This approach is right for you if you have a list of options that users are supposed to choose from.

The clickable checkbox is interactive. It allows the user to place a check mark by clicking on the checkbox symbol.

On the other hand, the non-interactive check mark is just a visual check mark symbol that you cannot click to check or uncheck the symbol.

Interactive checkbox

Non-interactive checkbox

I will show you how to add clickable and non-clickable checkmarks to your list of options in Microsoft Word.

Without any further ado, let’s get started.

Ho to insert Non-Clickable checkmark in Word

Obey the following instructions to add this symbol to a list of options in Microsoft Word.

Begin by typing all the options in a list. Begin each option on a new line.

Highlight all the options you’ve just typed. Then click on the Home tab, in the Paragraph group, click on the bullet list drop-down.

From the Bullet List drop-down menu, select the symbol you want to use as bullet. In this case we will select the check mark symbol. If this is your first time of using this symbol as bullet, you may not find it from this drop-down. If that’s like you, please jump to the next step.

Select the check mark symbol as bullet point

If you can’t find the check mark symbol on this drop-down, click on the Define New Bullet… button at the bottom.

The Define New Bullet dialog box will appear. In the Bullet Character category, click on the Symbol… button to launch the Symbol dialog.

From the Symbol dialog, click on the Font: drop-down and select Wingdings or Wingdings 2 from the list. More advanced symbols will appear. Locate the Checkmark symbol from this library of symbols, click to select it and then hit the Insert button.

After specify the bullet symbol, click on the OK button on the Define New Bullet dialog.

The checkmark symbol you select will be used as bullets. You can use other symbols as well. For example, if you want to add a checkbox without the check mark symbol inside it, select the checkbox symbol from the symbol’s dialog box.

Check box symbol from the symbol's dialog box

Someone may also want some of the checkboxes checked and others unchecked. If that’s like you, you should consider adding a clickable checkbox symbol instead. This way, you can manually click to check and uncheck the options.

In the next section, I’ll explain how to add clickable check boxes in Word.

Inserting Clickable Checkmark Symbols in Word

The clickable checkmark symbols allow users of your document to select and deselect the checkboxes as illustrated below:

Adding this type of checkmark symbol requires you to use the developer tab on the ribbon. This tab is not visible by default.

Thus, first of all, look and see whether there’s a tab named Developer on the ribbon.

If you seem not to find the Developer tab on the ribbon, you’ll therefore need to take steps to add it to the ribbon. Just obey the following instructions.

Adding the Developer tab

To add the developer tab in Word:

Right-click anywhere on the Ribbon and select Customize Ribbon from the shortcut menu.

The Word Options dialog box will appear with the Customize Ribbon category displayed. On the right side of this dialog box, click to select the Developer checkbox, then click on the OK button. If this is checked, the Developer tab will now become visible.

Now that you have the developer tab visible on your ribbon, follow the remaining steps below to add clickable checkboxes and checkmarks into your Word document:

Click to place the cursor where you want to add the checkmark.

Place the cursor Where to type the checkmark symbol in Word

Click on the Developer Tab.

In the Controls category, click the Checkbox button.

Click the Checkbox button in the Contro category

The checkbox button will be added exactly where you placed your insertion pointer.

Follow the same steps to add the checkbox to the rest of the items. Or, copy and paste the checkbox at the beginning of each line.

copy and paste the checkmark symbol to where you need it to be

By default, clicking on this checkbox will mark an “X” symbol instead of the tick mark we want to see. The X sign is not what we want. We want to see a tick mark inside the tick box when clicked. You can change it to include any symbol you want (like this: ☑). Continue the steps below to learn how to change the checked symbol.

Click to select the symbol.
Go to the Developer tab, in the Controls category, click on Properties.

In the Content Control Properties dialog, click on the Change button next to the Checked symbol option.

The Symbol dialog box appears. Select Webdings 2 from the Font dropdown to display some of the Microsoft Word Advanced Symbols.
Locate the tickbox symbol and click on it.

Locate the tick symbol from the symbol's dialog

Also, click the OK button for the Content Control Properties dialog.

Now you should have a tick on your checkbox whenever you click on it.

This how you may create a clickable check box or tick box into Microsoft Word documents.

Inserting Checkmark in Word Using the Wingdings font

This option is my least favorite approach to type certain symbols like the check mark symbol in Word. You need to know the symbol’s character code before hand, and you must also change the font before you can get the symbol. But if you can’t find the symbol you want to insert in the Symbol’s dialog, this approach is a helpful solution to consider even though it’s too much work.

Obey the following instructions if you want to type the check mark symbol in Word using the Wingdings front approach.

The check mark symbol ✓ (also known as a checkmark or tick mark) has different meanings in different cultures: as a sign of agreement, confirmation, to indicate the concepts «yes» or «correct»; and as a sign of refusal, reject, to represent the notions of «no» or «wrong».

The X mark symbol 🗴 (also known as a cross, cross-mark, x sign, ex symbol) is often used in documents as a sign of refusal, reject, to indicate the concept «no» or «wrong»; or as an indicator of a completed task, a finished step, etc.

Note: Be careful when using these symbols in your document! In some countries, the check ✓ or ✗ mark is commonly used to indicate something wrong, incorrect. Another symbol can be used instead of the checkmark, such as the O mark, the plus symbol +, the letter R, etc.

The check mark symbol can also be mistakenly used in place of the
square root symbol, or as a bullet for the
manually created bulleted list.

We strongly recommend avoiding misusing symbols; see the appropriate tips to make perfect documents.

Adding a check mark (also called a tick) symbol to a document, spreadsheet, presentation slide, or a web page can be done several ways. Follow the steps below for the type of file, document, or page that you want to add a check mark.

Note

A check mark should not be confused with the square root symbol ( √ ).

Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Option one

Open the Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint application.
Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon at the top.
In the Symbols section, on the far-right side of the Insert tab, click the Symbols icon.

In the Symbols window, click the Font drop-down list and select the Wingdings font.
Below the Font list is the Wingdings symbols you can insert. Scroll to the bottom of the list of symbols and select the check mark symbol in the last row of symbols.
Click the Insert button to insert the check mark into the document.

Option two

Open the Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint application.
On the Home tab, in the Font section, click the Font drop-down list and select the Wingdings font.
