After accessing the “Insert” menu, find the “Symbol” tab. From this section, choose the “Font” option and select “Wingdings”. The tick mark will be found at the bottom of the list. This can also be accessed from the “Start” menu under the “Character Map” section (within System Tools).
What is the correct way to make a check mark?
To use this method, do the following:
- Position the cursor where you want to insert the symbol.
- Hold down the Alt key and use the number keypad to enter the character code–that’s 0252 for the plain checkmark and 0254 for the boxed checkmark.
- Highlight the new character and apply Wingdings from the Font dropdown.
How does a check mark look?
Check Mark (✔) A check mark, checkmark or tick (✓) is a mark used to indicate the concept “yes” (e.g. “yes; this has been verified”, “yes; that is the correct answer”, “yes; this has been completed”, or “yes; this [item or option] applies to me”). The checkmark is one of the most common symbols used in forms.

How are right and wrong symbols culturally dependent?
What is right and wrong is relative. The symbols used for them are culturally dependent, too, and often mentioned as prime examples of culture and country dependent ITC elements. My teachers at school used “✔” to mark errors.

This is in Word 2003(11.5604.5606).
When the user clicks on Insert, symbol and selects a right arrow in
«Recently used symbols» a lower case «a» with a dot on top comes up instead
of a right arrow. The character code is 224. To the left of the character
code the screen reads WP Iconic SymbolsA:00E0. The From: box is Symbol
(decimal).
I noticed in the Microsoft support database that Article ID#140174 discusses
this problem and refers to the symbole.fon file in the Windows/font folder.
This solution is not for Word 2003.
In Word 2003 is there a file that serves the same purpose as symbole.fon?
Does Word 2003
How can I make the correct symbol appear in the document?

You have not responded to replies to your previous posting of this issue. Do
you have the WP Iconic Symbols font installed? If not, you will not get a
symbol from that font regardless of what you do.

Word’s spell check has a serious bug when it comes to symbols.
Some time back we looked at the ‘Word ampersand mystery’, that’s where the spell-checker behaves strangely when there’s an ampersand in the text. It turns out to be a bigger problem involving many symbol characters.
An ampersand at the end of a word or letter should trigger a spelling error – but it does not.
An ampersand next to a single letter is treated correctly with no red squiggly line. That’s because of many common abbreviations, mostly for company names.
We consider it a bug since there’s no common usage or spelling that requires an ‘&’ symbol next to a single word or letter. That applies in any human language.
But wait … there’s @#~+ more
The bug shows up not just for ampersands but also other characters. The @, #, ~ and + are all treated the same (wrong) way in Word.
AsteriSK exception
The asterisk (or Asterix depending on your taste in comic books) ‘ * ‘ is treated a little differently. Two words separated by a * is NOT marked as a spelling error yet it clearly is.
While the asterisk is a common search character we can’t see any reason for it to be treated differently in the Office spell-checker for human language.
Percentage bug
The % percentage character isn’t given any special treatment by the spell checker. You might expect that digits followed by a % would be cleared by the spell check – and it is.
However a % followed by digits is also deemed OK- but why?
What to do?
This bug reinforces the reminder that you can’t rely on the Word spell checker to proof your documents – you have to read them.
Those red squiggly lines are useful for highlighting many problems but not everything is caught by Word’s spelling and grammar checks.
On the other hand, these ‘symbol next to letter’ situations should be detected by Word and that’s why we consider them full blown bugs.
Why does it matter?
A few readers asked us why we were bothering with such minutiae? A fair question but we don’t think these are minor details.
Rightly or wrongly, people rely on the Word spell-checker to alert them to potential problems in their documents. It is important that the system puts the red squiggly line under text that is wrong. In the cases we’ve highlighted the text is clearly wrong in any common human language.
It’s easy enough to miss a single space when typing two words or letters with an ampersand (eg ‘ George& Gracie ‘ Flanders &Swann’ ). As it stands Word won’t warn you about the missing space, making it easy to overlook.
The spell-check system needs to be revisited and the long-standing programming revised. In our view it should ‘err on the side of caution’ and mark as an error any situation where a special character is next to a letter.
The percentage symbol is a special case and should warn about all ‘character adjacent’ scenarios except when it follows a digit.
Situations where the ampersand or other characters appear next to letters (eg programming code, maths formula, search or regular expressions) can be handled the way Microsoft intends; using the ‘No Proofing’ option to exclude that text from spell checking.
Those strange ¶ symbols are called pilcrow signs or paragraph signs and they show the end of paragraphs. They’re useful to see when you’re formatting and editing e-books and don’t print at all, but could be distracting.
Fortunately, there’s an easy way to remove them.
- Click the top menu item Tools->Options
- Click View
- Look for ‘Formatting Marks’, and uncheck the option ‘All’
- Click OK
Or for newer versions…
- Click the top menu item ‘Review’
- Look for ‘Show Markup’ and click
- Look for ‘Formatting’ and uncheck
OR
- Click View
- Move down to Toolbars and choose Standard, for standard toolbar
- You should see a Pilcrow icon on the toolbar that you can click to either show or hide
Finally, Windows 10 makes it much easier to find. Just click the ‘Home’ tab, and you should see the Pilcrow icon somewhere near the top middle. You can click it to turn it off and click it again to turn it on.
Hope this helps 🙂

Если в документе появились непонятные символы и точки, то их можно убрать с помощью инструментария текстового редактора MS Word. Эти значки позволяют распознавать лишние пробелы или отступы, знаки табуляции. Но иногда функция активируется при случайном нажатии на кнопку в верхней панели или использовании неверной комбинации клавиш. Символы не выводятся на печать, а только отображаются в документе в электронном варианте при просмотре документа.

Способ 1: Использование рабочей панели
При активной функции отображения непечатаемых знаков документ выглядит так, как на скриншоте. Между слов отображаются точки, а каждое предложение или абзац заканчивается с символом «¶».
Чтобы отключить отображение непонятных символов, откройте вкладку «Главная» и в блоке «Абзац» найдите кнопку со значком «¶». Если она активна, то режим отображения знаков активирован. Для выключения достаточно один раз щелкнуть левой кнопкой мыши по кнопке.
Способ 2: Комбинация клавиш
Горячие клавиши позволяют быстро применить различные функции в текстовом редакторе MS Word. Они помогут отключить отображение непечатаемых значков, поскольку в более старых версиях программы бывает сложно найти нужную функцию. Также проблемы возникают у пользователей операционной системы MacOS. Для отключения режима просмотра документа с непонятными значками одновременно зажмите клавиши «Ctrl + Shift + 8».
Способ 3: Отключение привязки объектов
Если ни один способ не помог, то рекомендуется отключить функцию обязательного отображения значков. Для их деактивации действуйте согласно инструкции:
- В открытом документе откройте вкладку «Файл» на верхней панели.
- Нажмите по пункту «Параметры» в открывшемся меню.
- Отобразится дополнительное окно, где слева нужно выбрать раздел «Экран». В блоке с отображением знаков форматирования снимите отметку с пункта «Привязка объектов».
После этого непонятные значки, точки и символы исчезнут из текста документа. Если нужно проверить его на наличие двойных пробелов или лишние знаки, то потребуется вновь активировать функцию через параметры файла.
