Word: insert root sign
Below we show you how you can easily insert the root symbol in Word documents.
The simple root sign as a symbol
If you only need the simple root symbol, proceed as follows:
- First activate the "Insert" tab.
- Then move to the "Symbols" area in the quick start bar to the far right end and then select "Symbol".
- In the "Symbol" menu you only have to select the root symbol.
Insert root formula in Word
If you need a cubic root, for example, or if you would like to represent a somewhat more complex formula, this can be done quickly.
- Under "Insert" go back to the "Symbols" area on the "Quick start bar".
- Double-click "Formula".
- You then have an input field in your Word document and can choose from a wide variety of arithmetic operations and symbols in the menu bar, including the square or cubic root.
