Auditors ask, “a checkmark symbol please ?”
In Word's and PowerPoint's font sets, you will find a few feeble checkmark options available via the Insert, Symbol tool, as follows. The Symbol font set includes a weird checkmark that resembles a partial
square root symbol (√) more than a checkmark

Excel: Keyboarding for speed
by J. Carlton Collins, CPA October 1, 2016 - (JofA)
Advanced computer users know that once they've mastered key-
board commands, they usually can navigate menus faster with the
keyboard than with a mouse.
For example, you probably learned long ago that pressing Ctrl+C
to copy and Ctrl+V to paste is quicker than clicking on the men-
us to accomplish the same task. Don't stop there. Excel's shortcut
menus can speed up dozens of common commands.
With speed in mind, presented below are a few of my favorite
Excel keyboard commands. How many do you already know?
Email workbook as a PDF attachment (Alt+FHEF).
To email your entire workbook as a PDF attachment, press the
Alt key and type F, H, E, F, then enter the email address and
press the Send button.
Merge and center text (Alt+HMC). To merge and center text,
highlight the cells you want to merge, then press the Alt key and
press H, M, C.
Insert a picture (Alt+NC). To insert a new picture into an Excel
workbook, press the Alt key, press N, C, and then navigate to
and select the desired picture and press Enter.
Insert the current date (Ctrl+;). To insert the current date, se-
lect any cell and press Ctrl+;. This action inserts a fixed date as a
number. If you want a date that always reflects the current date,
enter the function =TODAY(), and the date will change auto-
matically in sync with your computer's calendar.
print more quickly (Ctrl+F2). Pressing Ctrl+F2 will launch Ex-
cel's Print screen. Paste Special (Ctrl+Alt+V). Pressing
Ctrl+Alt+V will launch the Paste Special dialog box. Format
faster (Ctrl+1). Pressing Ctrl+1 launches the Format Cells dialog
box. Access the keyboard menu (Alt). Pressing the Alt key pops
up the keyboard selections that correspond to Excel's main men-
us .
