What is the code for a check mark (MS Word symbol)?

Question

Everytime I cut and paste the check it puts a letter in. I am looking for an easier way of inserting the check symbol w/o having to go into the drop down box for symbols and clicking insert.

Anyone know???? Thanks

You can easily insert a check mark symbol in your Office documents. The Wingdings® font that most Microsoft Windows® users have installed enables you to choose between several symbols that can be used as a check mark.

The following are some ways that you can insert a checkmark symbol, depending on which Office program you are using.

Insert the check mark symbol by using the Symbols command on the Insert menu.
Insert the check mark symbol by using the Windows Character Map tool.
Type the keyboard shortcut for the symbol, and then change the symbol to the correct font type.
Use the Office AutoCorrect feature to translate the text of your choice into your chosen symbol.

Insert a symbol by using the Symbol command
Note This feature requires Excel, FrontPage, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Word, or Visio.

On the Insert menu, click Symbol.
Note In Outlook, use the Insert menu in the message window.

In the Symbol dialog box, on the Symbols tab, in the Font box, click Wingdings.
Scroll to the bottom of the list, where you will find several common check mark symbols. Double-click the symbol that you want.

Insert a symbol by using its character code
Note This feature requires Excel, FrontPage, InfoPath, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Project, Publisher, Word, or Visio.

You can also use the character code of the symbol as a keyboard shortcut. For example, to insert the check mark symbol, press and hold ALT while typing 0252 on the numeric keypad.

Note You must use the numeric keypad and not the keyboard to type the numbers. Make sure that the NUM LOCK key is on if your keyboard requires it to type numbers on the numeric keypad.

Symbol Character Code
ALT+0251
ALT+0252
ALT+0253
ALT+0254

Insert a symbol by using AutoCorrect
Note This feature requires Word 2002 or later. You can also use Outlook 2002 or later while using Word as your e-mail editor. When using Outlook, the Word version must match the Outlook version.

AutoCorrect requires that you first define the AutoCorrect text and symbol.

In Word, or in an Outlook message window, on the Insert menu, click Symbol, and then click the Symbols tab.
In the Font box, click Wingdings, and then scroll to the bottom of the list.
Select the symbol that you want, and then click AutoCorrect.
The symbol will automatically appear in the With box.

In the Replace box, type a word or phrase that you want to associate with the check mark symbol — for example, type check1.
Click Add.
Click OK.
In your documents, when you want to use the check mark symbol that you just defined, type the replace word that you used in step 4.

Answer 4

There is no default keyboard command for the checkmark. You can, however, create your own. Open the Insert menu, click on Symbol, and the symbol dialogue box will come up. Find the check mark symbol you desire, click on it, and then click the button "Shortcut Key..." towards the bottom of the window. You can then assign a shortcut key to insert this symbol.

I find that using the unicode is easy for me. ✓
NUM LK to On. ✓
Cursor where mark is to be inserted. ✓
Type 2713 (for bolded) or 2714 (for non-bolded). ✓
Hold Alt and type x. ✓
See the mark ✓ appear in current/matching font size. ✓

Note: My ✓s (check marks) appear in MS Gothic font. I do not worry about it because, well, what does the font style of a check mark matter anyway. You can change size with view zoom or change of font size.

I also clipped and saved an image for insertion in non-MS application and in Web pages. Recommend to expand ✓ check mark to larger font size before clipping, copying...So that the mark will not dim or fuzzy if pasted symbol needs to be expanded using handles.

When using Windows you MUST use the numeric keypad (to the right of the keyboard) to type these special characters. á Hold down ALT and type 160 or Hold down ALT and type 0225 é Hold down ALT and type 130 or Hold down ALT and type 0233 í Hold down ALT and type 161 or Hold down ALT and type 0237 ó Hold down ALT and type 162 or Hold down ALT and type 0243 ú Hold down ALT and type 163 or Hold down ALT and type 0250 Á Hold down ALT and type 0193 É Hold down ALT and type 0201 Í Hold down ALT and type 0205 Ó Hold down ALT and type 0211 Ú Hold down ALT and type 0218 ü Hold down ALT and type 129 or Hold down ALT and type 0252 Ü Hold down ALT and type 154 or Hold down ALT and type 0220 ñ Hold down ALT and type 164 or Hold down ALT and type 0241 Ñ Hold down ALT and type 165 or Hold down ALT and type 0209 ¿ Hold down ALT and type 168 or Hold down ALT and type 0191 ¡ Hold down ALT and type 173 or Hold down ALT and type 0161 ¼ Hold down ALT and type 172 ½ Hold down ALT and type 171 º Hold down ALT and type 167 Programming Spanish Characters and Spanish Accent Marks on Word It is also possible to program Microsoft Word to use a key such as the ALT with the letter or symbol to do the same thing. Go to the Insert menu and select Symbol, highlight the symbol that you want to program, such as Á (capital A with accent). Then select the Shortcut Key and "press new shortcut key". The "current keys" will tell you what the current shortcut is to that key. Since I use very few shortcuts on my keyboard, I have assigned ALT + n to give me ñ and ATL + o to give me ó (accented o) etc. You will still need the above codes because this programming only works in Word, of course, you can always create your documents in Word and then cut and paste them into e-mail and other types of documents. Suppress the Red and Green Underline in Word If you are using MS Word and the wavy underlines check spelling (red underline) and check grammar ( green underline) clutter your document, while you are typing in Spanish, you can temporarily hide them as follows: 1. On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Spelling & Grammar tab. 2. Select the Hide spelling errors in this document and Hide grammatical errors in this document check
