Introduction to Adding a Black Symbol in WPS Document
Adding a black symbol to a WPS document can be a simple task, whether you're looking to enhance a design element or add emphasis to a point. WPS, like Microsoft Word, offers various ways to insert symbols, including black ones. In this guide, we will explore different methods to add a black symbol to your WPS document.
Using the Symbol Dialog Box
One of the most straightforward ways to insert a black symbol is by using the Symbol dialog box. Here's how to do it:
1. Open your WPS document and place the cursor where you want the symbol to appear.
2. Go to the Insert tab on the ribbon.
3. Click on Symbol in the Symbols group.
4. The Symbol dialog box will appear. Here, you can choose from a variety of symbols.
5. Navigate through the different symbol sets using the tabs at the top of the dialog box.
6. Select the black symbol you want to insert.
7. Click Insert to place the symbol at the cursor's location.
Using the Character Map
If you prefer a more visual approach, you can use the Character Map to find and insert a black symbol:
1. Open the Character Map by searching for it in the Windows search bar or by navigating to Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map.\
2. In the Character Map, click on the Advanced view button to see more options.
3. In the Font dropdown, select WPS Office Arial or any other font that includes the black symbol you want.
4. Scroll through the characters until you find the black symbol you need.
5. Click on the symbol to select it, then click Select and then Copy.\
6. Go back to your WPS document, place the cursor where you want the symbol, and paste it using the Paste button.
Using Unicode Codes
If you know the Unicode code for the black symbol you want to insert, you can use it directly in your WPS document:
1. Open your WPS document and place the cursor where you want the symbol.
2. Press Alt and then type the Unicode code for the black symbol. For example, the Unicode code for a black square is 25A1.\
3. Release the Alt key, and the symbol should appear at the cursor's location.
Inserting from Online Sources
If you can't find the black symbol you need in WPS or the Character Map, you can search online for the symbol and then insert it into your document:
1. Search for the black symbol you need using a search engine.
2. Find a website that offers the symbol in an image format.
3. Right-click on the image and select Save image as to download it to your computer.
4. Open your WPS document, place the cursor where you want the symbol, and click Insert > Picture.\
5. Browse to the downloaded image and insert it into your document.
Customizing the Symbol
Once you've inserted a black symbol into your WPS document, you might want to customize its appearance:
1. Select the symbol by clicking on it.
2. With the symbol selected, go to the Format tab on the ribbon.
3. You can adjust the font size, color, and other properties to match your document's style.
4. If you want to add a border or shadow to the symbol, you can use the Shape Outline and Shape Effects options in the Format tab.
