To add a Tick symbol in MS Office Excel, Word or PowerPoint , you need to go to INSERT > SYMBOL from the toolbar and select the Font Wingdings, in the character code box Enter number 252
Here you will get both the simple Tick and a Ticked box symbol.
Cross Symbol and Crossed box symbol are also present there and can by inserted if desired
Here is how they look like

Thanks so much. This should be an easy symbol to find. Needed it for so long.
Great tip. But what about Office 2010? I’ve been using this technique for years but just been upgraded to 2010 and MS have kindly removed Wingdings from the font list. Is there somewhere I can go to download this?
You saved my blood pressure- thanks! This was so easy, brilliant.

Re no Wingdings:
When you insert the symbol in MS Excel 2010 you have the option of a changing the font – select Wingdings from the drop down list & it’s still character 252.
Thanks – great tip!
