To make the content of your document more intuitive and lively, adding symbols like tick, cross, check box, etc. is an effective method. But what’s the fastest way to insert them? Sure you can copy and paste from Internet If it’s a one-time thing. Otherwise you’d probably better to enter them in Word directly.

1. Insert Symbol

Like the way to add other special symbols in Word, you can click Symbol and choose More Symbols… in Insert tab.
