how do i put a tick mark in word

Go to the "Insert" menu, and select "Symbol." Find the "tick mark," and click on it. If you don't see it right away, change the font to "Wingdings," and you'll find one there. Answered Apr, 03 2011

Hi, you can try this:

1. Create the box. Click on the "Insert" tab. Select the "Shapes" option. Select "Text Box" in the Basic Shapes section. Use the sizing tool and create the size of the box you want to use.

2. Click inside the box. Now it is ready to accept text.

3. Click "Symbol" in the Symbols group. Select "More Symbols" in the drop-down menu.

4. Click the "Symbols" tab. Click the down-arrow next to "Font" and select "Wingdings".

5. Scroll through the list and find the check mark symbol. This is usually located near the bottom of the list. Click it. Click the "Insert" button. Click the "Close" button. You now have a check mark in a box.

You can use Office XP. Step: Insert>>Symbol. Look for the Square Root sign: it looks just like a tick and use the letter 'x' for crosses.
