Working with the program "Vord" can be very diverse. Sometimes you need to print a dry text, another time you will work with the images in the document, and someday you will have to print the formulas. In this article, we'll talk about how to tick the "Word". All possible ways will be disassembled. Let's talk about built-in fonts, about ALT-codes and about many other things.

Put a tick through the character box

How to tick the "Word"? The easiest way for a novice user is to use a window with symbols in the program itself. However, this method takes time, so read the article to the end to choose the method that is right for you. Well, in the meantime, we go directly to the instruction on how to put a tick in the "Word" using the panel with the symbols.

After opening the program, you need to go to the "Insert" tab. Now, on the toolbar, find the "Symbols" button, click on it and select "Other Symbols" from the drop-down menu - the window you need appears.

In the default character set, unfortunately, you can not find a tick, you need to select Wingdings in the "Font" drop-down list. Now in the field with the symbols you can find the right one. Often, it is located at the very bottom, so lower the slider below, find a tick, and then click the "Insert" button.

We tick the box with hexadecimal code

The first way, how to put a tick in the "Word", we dismantled, but, as mentioned above, it is not the last. Now let's talk about the hex code. Although the wording can also start the horror of an inexperienced user, but there is nothing complicated in this, now we will understand in more detail.

From the name it becomes clear that we will deal with the code. In this case, the code at the check mark is 221A. Knowing it, you can quickly put the symbol in the right place, without resorting to a table with symbols.

So, put the cursor where the symbol should be. Then enter the code 221A (in Latin). Further, without pressing other keys, press the combination ALT + X. Now your code has been converted to the desired symbol.

This method is quite fast compared to the previous one, but many can forget this code, so it's up to you whether to use it or not.

We tick the ALT code

Now let's talk about how to put a tick in the "Word" with the help of ALT-code. This method practically does not differ from the previous one, only another code and another method of its input is used, but everything in order.

The code that we will use is easy to remember - this is 251. However, this time it is necessary to enter it differently. You should initially hold down the ALT key, and after that, hold it down, on the right numeric keypad, press in succession numbers 2, 5 and 1. After you release ALT, the character will be entered at the specified location.

Now you know one more way how to put a tick in the "Word". By the way, this method can be used not only in the program, it works correctly in all fields for input, but only in the Windows operating system. For example, in UBUNTU the code remains the same, but the key is different - it is assigned manually by the user, in the settings.

Put a tick with a font

Everyone knows that such a font is in the "Word". It can be diverse, it can surprise with its creativity and beauty, but very few people know that among all the variety there is a font that is not intended for writing. The name of his Wingdings 2, about him now and talk.

To quickly select it, start typing its name in the field where the font name is registered. Selecting it and pressing a couple of keys, you will find that instead of the usual letters are put different characters. It is among all the possible keys and there is our tick. To long not to torment, it is necessary to name at once these keys - "P" and "R". Just before entering them, always hold down the SHIFT key and make sure that the keyboard layout is in English, otherwise you will not achieve the desired result.

Now you know where the tick is on the keyboard. In addition, you can download special fonts with ticks. There may be different variations of this sign.

Make a list of checkmarks

Well, in the end, it's worth talking about the most banal and unpopular way. Unfortunately, it works only when creating a bulleted list.

The bottom line is the following: in the "Home" tab in the "Paragraph" area, click on the icon of the bulleted list. And from the drop-down menu, select the check mark. However, this does not make it possible to insert the checkboxes arbitrarily, but if you wanted to arrange the list in this way, it will perfectly suit you.
