Now we will consider the question of how to put a paragraph sign when creating a document on a personal computer. I must say that with the undeniable fame of this symbol, not all PC users know where to find it.
Introduction
To begin with, we note that the paragraph mark has the form of two stylized letters s. This symbol was provided by the creators of typewriters, but, unfortunately, it is absent on modern computer keyboards. This fact raises the question of how to put a paragraph sign. In turn, the task has several solutions at once, which we will discuss below.
Main way
The first version of how to put a paragraph paragraph on the keyboard is relevant for many applications, including office products from Microsoft, such as Excel and Word, as well as a standard Windows notepad. To begin with, make sure that the digital unit, which places the right part of the keyboard on itself, is in the active state. If this feature is disabled, press Num Lock (special key). After that, you should press the Alt key and holding it, enter the value 0167. Thus, after you release the Alt key, the paragraph sign will appear in the document.
Using special characters
For programs that include the insertion of special characters, you can use the specified tools. If you are working with a Word document, you must position the cursor in the place where you intend to put the paragraph mark. Next, open the "Insert" tab, and then click on
the "Symbol" function from the "Symbols" section in the
toolbar . As a rule, it is located on the right side of the panel. If you are unable to find the desired character in the menu that appears, left-click on the item “Other Symbols”. You will see the following
dialog box. In the “Symbols” tab, find the paragraph icon, then select it with the left mouse button and finally click “Paste”. Close the window. There is another alternative solution. After calling up the Symbol dialog box, go to the Special Characters tab. The above list also contains a paragraph mark. To get started, select it, and then click the Paste button. Using the same tab, you can easily configure the
keyboard shortcut so that you do not have to open the "Symbols" all the time. Select the
paragraph symbol with the left mouse button
, and then click on the “Keyboard Shortcut” item.
