  8. Click OK.
  9. Click Font. A Font dialog box appears.
  10. Select the desired font color and size. This dialog box offers the same options as the regular Font dialog box.

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:

Insert check mark in Symbol dialog box in Word.

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:

  1. Position the cursor in the Word document where you want to insert a check mark.
  2. Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
  3. In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.

  8. Click Insert.
  9. 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:

Insert Symbol dialog box in Word with check mark selected.

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:

  1. Position the cursor in a Word document.
  2. Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
  3. In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.
  4. Click More Symbols. A dialog box appears.
  5. If necessary, click the Symbols tab.
  6. Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.
  7. Scroll through the list of symbols until you find the check mark symbol you want to use and then click it.
  8. Click Shortcut. A dialog box appears.
  9. Click in the box below Assign New Shortcut key.
  10. 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.
  11. Click Assign. Typically the location for these shortcuts is the Normal (or default) template.
  12. Click Close twice.

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

The Customize Keyboard dialog box appears as follows:

Customize keyboard dialog box in Word to assign keyboard shortcuts.

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:

  1. Position the cursor in a Word document.
  2. Click the Insert tab in the Ribbon.
  3. In the Symbols group, click Symbol. A drop-down menu appears.
  4. Click More Symbols. A dialog box appears.

  6. Select Wingdings from the Font drop-down menu. Alternatively, you can select another font such as Wingdings 2 or Segoe UI Symbol.
  7. Scroll through the list of symbols until you find the check mark symbol you want to use and then click it.
  8. Click AutoCorrect. A dialog box appears.
  9. In the Replace box, enter the name of the entry (such as cm1).
  10. Click Add.
  11. Click OK.
  12. 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:

Add AutoCorrect entry for check mark in Word.

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:

  1. Position the cursor where you want to insert the check mark symbol.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.

You’ve seen those cool tick symbols used in Microsoft Word Documents in the past but can’t quite figure out how to insert one yourself.

You’re now alone. Nearly all of us know what they are but other than the old copy + paste of the tick image many of us are baffled as to how you are actually suppose to insert one.

So we’re here to decipher the illicit tick symbol mysterys of Word and show you how to insert a tick symbol the ‘real way’. That is, using Words long or short cut methods rather than the old copy + past image method.

Adding a Tick Symbol in Word

The Microsoft Method

This is the method that Microsoft intended us to use, the manual way to insert a tick symbol.

  1. Open Word
  2. Place your cursor at the point you want to insert the tick symbol
  3. Click Insert in the toolbar
  4. Under Insert, find and press Advanced Symbols
  1. Click Font dropdown
  2. Under the Font dropdown, select Wingdings 2 font
  1. Select the tick symbol (or any other symbol you want to use from the display box)
  1. Click Insert
  2. Press Close

You have now successfully added a tick symbol to your Microsoft Word Document. The steps above can be repeated as many times as required, or you can simple copy > paste the tick symbol to replicate it multiple times.

Font Shortcuts Method

If you are wanting to add multiple tick symbols into a document, you can also use the shortcut method.

In this method, you change the font and can then use the Shift button to insert your symbols:

  1. Open Word
  2. Change the font to Wingdings 2
  3. Press Shift + P for a tick symbol

Making your bullet points tick symbols in Word

The last common method to inserting tick symbols is through bullet pointing.

If you are trying to turn your bullet points into tick symbols heres how:

  1. Open Word
  2. Right Click on the existing bullet point
  3. Select Bulletpoints and Numbering…
  1. Select Bulleted
  2. Click on the image with the tick symbol bullets
  1. Press OK

You have now successfully turned your bullet points into tick symbols.

Searching for a better way to work together in Microsoft Word Documents?

When working with a number of people in the same Word document you can quickly find yourself siphoning through old versions to compute who made what changes where and when.

Unless you each have a dedicated ‘edit’ day or time slot, you may also end up accidentally working on the same Word document, at the same time. Leaving you with two versions of the same file and the torturous task of merging them together without wasting 2 hours of precious billable hours.

Computer-Frustration-Cartoon-2-300x212 - Advanced Organizing ...

Before you scroll any further we’d like to introduce you to the solution you have been searching for, meet Simul Docs.

Simul Docs was built to make your life easier.

To make collaborating on a Word Document seamless and pain free.

Simul Docs manages version control for you, version control means they will not only save each new document automatically once an edit is made (no minor feat, with this feature alone you’ll never accidentally save over another author’s document again) but Simul gives each document a version number, relevant to when it was last edited.

This makes it easy to see which document is the most recent file and when it was last edited.

To add a cherry on top of this already sweet tool, Simul also puts the author’s name next to the saved document so you know at a glance when it was saved, how old it is AND who created it. It sounds like a lot but for Simul its a breeze and its what they love doing – making your collaborating life a whole lot easier.

Now without sounding too smug, Simul also has a whole heap of other cool features that might help your team collaborate better.

Think tracked changes, they are automatically turned on, every single new change is tracked and saved. You quite literally will never miss an edit again. Amazing!

Then Simul makes merging as easy as the click of a button.

If two team members are working simultaneously on the document, Simul has your back. Simul will allow the changes to be made, save each version as a new document and let you know there are two new updates for your review. Upon review, you can accept or decline each author’s changes and press ‘merge’. Done. Documents merged!

Simul really does make collaborating easy and it’s a tool that will save you time and frustration.
