Thumbs up Answer: how do I make a small square for a check mark

To make a small square for a check mark in Microsoft Word, you can follow these steps:
  1. Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the screen.
  2. Click on the "Symbol" button in the "Symbols" section of the ribbon.
  3. In the drop-down menu, select "More Symbols."
  4. In the "Symbol" dialog box, select "Wingdings" from the "Font" drop-down menu.
  5. Scroll down until you find the square symbol you want to use for your check mark. It should be a solid square with no border.
  6. Click on the square symbol to select it, and then click on the "Insert" button.
  7. The square symbol should now appear in your document. You can copy and paste it as many times as you need to create your check boxes.

Alternatively, you can use the "Bullet" feature in Word to create check boxes. Here's how:

1. Type out your sentence or list of items that you want to add check boxes to.
2. Select the text that you want to add check boxes to.
3. Click on the "Home" tab in the ribbon.
4. In the "Paragraph" section of the ribbon, click on the "Bullets" button.
5. In the drop-down menu, select the check box symbol you want to use.
6. The check box symbol should now appear in front of each item in your list.

The Wingdings font has various little boxes with shadows. You could also set
this as a bullet if you want it in front of sentences. If you need help
changing the bullet post back.
