An Excel Question This Time

SOOOSKA · Feb 25, 2008

Can one of you really smart computer people please help me out. This is probably a real easy question for most of you.

I'm doing a form in Excel with columns (this is for the Occupational Therapist before and after accidents). What I need to know is where would I find a check mark to put in the columns. I looked under wingdings (I think that's what they are called but couldn't figure that out).

I hope I make sense in what I'm asking here.

Thanks

Susan:?

I'm not sure about check marks, but what about using an X or a dot instead?

My only thought would be to look in the insert symbol menu. It's under Insert, Symbol. The square root sign kinda looks like a check mark.

Another idea would be to draw one in Paint, then insert it as a picture or image.

Hi Susan,

On the toolbar click on Insert...then on Symbol....and you should be able to find a checkmark listed there.

At the risk of being a pain in the butt, you might find doing a table in word easier than in excel because you have all the regular options of bullet points, etc, and it adjusts the length itself and you can play about easier with it.

Just a thought.

I was too slow though apparently, sorry.
