Word: Insert email symbol - how it works
You can easily insert an email symbol in Word using the Symbol menu. A meaningful symbol is better in many cases, since it makes it easier for the reader to find your email address at a glance.
Insert email symbol in Word
Although these instructions are primarily for Office 365 Home 2016, you can also apply this solution to any other version of Word:
- Click on "Insert" in the upper, horizontal menu bar and then on "Symbol" on the right.
- Press "More symbols" at the bottom of the opened menu. The window appears, which you can also see in the screenshot.
- Now set the font to "Wingdings". In the first line you should now find entries that you can use as an e-mail symbol. For example, the letter symbol is selected in the screenshot.
- Once you have decided on an image, you only have to mark it with the left mouse button and click on "Insert". The symbol then appears at the point where your cursor is currently located.
