Checkmark symbol

[Guest]

Is there a one or two keystroke way to insert a checkmark symbol?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to any symbol. Insert | Symbol; select
the symbol, click Shortcut Key..., and type in the desired shortcut.

There are a number of ways to create and use clickable checkboxes in
documents / templates. Some require protected or locked forms, others do
not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available at
http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an exploration
of these. Once you have decided which one you want, you can assign a
keyboard shortcut to it if you wish. If you are using the AutoText methods,
you can also use AutoText's autocomplete feature.

I tried this, but I don't see 'Shortcut Key.' I'm using Excel 2003.

Please do not multipost. This newsgroup is for questions about
Microsoft Word. Suzanne's answer applies to Microsoft Word, but
not to Microsoft Excel. Your question about Microsoft Excel is
off-topic here.

Sorry, I didn't realize this was in the Word group.
