Generate Copyright C in Word
If you want to create the popular copyright symbol in Word to add the circled "C" to your own work, you will notice that there is no key on the computer keyboard. However, you do not have to do without the copyright logo.
Insert Copyright-C in a Word document - three easy ways
There are various options for creating the copyright symbol. Below are the three simplest and fastest ways:
- In most (office) programs like Microsoft Word, you only have to type "(c)". Windows automatically converts this abbreviation into Copyright-C.
- Mark the following symbol with the mouse: ©. Now right-click on the marked Copyright-C and select "Copy". In the text in which you want to insert the copyright logo, right-click again with the mouse and select "Insert".
- Hold down the left Alt key (to the left of the space bar) and tap the number "184" on the number pad. Now release the Alt key. You may have to activate the number pad beforehand by pressing the button labeled "Num Lock" or similar.
Alternative solution: Copy the copyright logo from the Windows character table
Alternatively, you can also copy the circled "C" into your text, if the first tip doesn't work for you. To do this, you have to call up the character set under Windows. This tip refers to Windows 7, the start menu is no longer accessible under Windows 8.
- Click on the start symbol in the lower left right.
- Now navigate to "All Programs" »" Accessories "» "System Programs" and click on "Character Map".
- In the program that is now open, select the circled "C" from the list. Then click on "Select" below. The copyright symbol now appears in the text bar after "Character selection" (see screenshot).
- Now click on "Copy". Copyright-C is now on your clipboard.
- Go back to the program in which you need the copyright logo and navigate to the relevant passage. Hold down the Ctrl key (at the bottom left of the keyboard) and type the letter "V". Alternatively, you can right-click with the mouse and select "Paste". Then release the Ctrl key. The © symbol is now inserted.
