How to Insert a Checked Box in WPS, Plus the Quick Way to Add the Ohm Symbol

When working in a WPS document or spreadsheet, it’s pretty common to need a checkbox symbol with a tick inside it. There are a couple of simple ways to do it, and the same symbol set can also help if you need a boxed X. If you’re working in WPS Spreadsheets and need the ohm symbol, that can be inserted from the symbol menu as well.

Insert a checked box in WPS with a font shortcut

One of the fastest methods is to type a letter and then switch its font.

1. Place the cursor where you want the checked box to appear, then type an uppercase R.

1. Select that uppercase R and change its font to Wingdings 2.

1. After the font is changed, the character will display as a box with a check mark inside.

Insert the same symbol from the Symbol menu

If you’d rather pick the symbol directly, WPS also lets you insert it from the built-in symbol list.

1. Click Insert and then open Symbol.

1. In the window that opens, choose the Wingdings 2 font, find the checked box symbol, and click Insert.

How to insert a boxed X

If you need a box with an X inside instead of a check mark, the method is nearly the same:

1. Type an uppercase S, then set its font to Wingdings 2.

How to insert the ohm symbol in a WPS spreadsheet

In WPS Spreadsheets, the ohm symbol can be added through the symbol menu.

1. Open the spreadsheet and click the cell or position where you want the symbol to appear.

1. On the menu bar, click Insert.

1. In the Insert menu, choose Symbol.

1. At the bottom of the symbol list, open More Symbols.

1. The symbol panel contains many characters, so you may need to browse through the list to locate the one you want.

1. Once you find the ohm symbol, click Insert, and it will be added at the position you selected earlier.
