How Do I Create Tally Marks in a Word Document?

Using Strikethrough
1. Open a new or existing document in Microsoft Word.
2. Select the 'Times New Roman' font from the 'Formatting' toolbar, then type the pipe key '|', that is just beneath the backspace key on your keyboard.
3. Create a five by typing the pipe key four times. Highlight them on your page and click on 'Format' and 'Font' in the toolbar (shortcut: Ctrl+D). Then add a checkmark to 'Strikethrough' under 'Effects' and press 'OK.' The tally mark will be created for you.
