Word: Shortcut to Insert Trademark Symbol into Word Document
Posted by MickeyMouse in Microsoft Office
I frequently document trademark material. Here is the fastest ways to do so.
Inserting symbols into a Word document can be a tedious process. Fortunately, there are shortcuts which make using them much easier.
To insert a trademark symbol into Word quickly, you can use one of the following methods:
1. Type (TM) which Word will convert automatically to the ™ symbol.
2. Using the ascii method, follow the steps below:
a- Hold down ALT.
b- On your keypad, type 0153.
c- Let go of ALT.
As soon as you let go of ALT, you should see the ™ symbol.
This works on web pages as well.
