Word: Shortcut Insert Trademark Symbol into Word Document

I have to document trademark junk material all the time. Here is the fastest ways to do so.


There are a lot of hard ways to insert symbols into word documents. However, most symbols have quick ways of doing it as well.

A recent recipe here explored using the ascii control set and reminded me of this.

To insert a trademark symbol into word quickly, you can do one of two things.

    1. Type (TM) which word will convert automatically to the ™ symbol

    2. To do it old school ascii style:
    [list] a- Hold down ALT
    b- On your keypad type 0153
    c- Let go of ALT

I don’t know why you have to use your keypad… but you do. As soon as you let go of ALT, you should see the ™ symbol.

It works on web pages as well…
