I’ve been Computer active subscriber since the beginning and this is the first time I’ve had to cry for help. I have to fill in some hospital questionnaires, which come as PDF files, but I can’t find how to type a tick mark. I have no problem with typing in all the text fields, but the tick is eluding me. I’ m reluctant to download software without recommendation because I could get more than I bargained for. Can you help?
You insert tick marks in a variety of ways but the method that works across Windows programs is Alt codes. Th is means holding down the left-hand Alt key while typing a numbered code on your keyboard’s numeric pad. Yo u’ ll also need to use an appropriate font (that is, one that includes a tick mark).
So, for instance, in the popular font Wingdings, typing
Alt+0252 will ‘type’ a tick. In MS Gothic,
Alt+10003 or
Alt+10004 will do the job.
