There are several ways to type a check mark on your computer. Here are some of them:
- **Using Alt code**: You can use the Alt code to type a check mark symbol in Word. 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.
- **Using Wingdings font**: You can also add a check mark icon in your document by pressing Alt+0252 on your keyboard. Then, highlight the character that appears (like a ü character), select “Wingdings” from the “Font” drop-down menu, and press Enter.
- **Using keyboard shortcuts**: Depending on the program you’re working in, you can type one of several common shortcuts. For instance, in MS programs, typing in “Option + 2713” returns a checkmark in the text.
- **Using Symbol dialog box**: In your file, place the cursor where you want to insert the symbol. Open the Symbol dialog box: Word or Outlook: Insert, select Symbols then More Symbols. Excel: Insert, select Symbols. PowerPoint: Insert, select Symbols > Symbol.
I hope this helps!
