    M$ word help needed ASAP

    Does anyone know how to make tally's in Microsoft Word? (the actual tally marks, not the frequency), I know I can draw it manually but it's took me bloody half an hour just to draw a few, and it's lots of messing about getting them to align properly and not cross over and all the rest of it >_<.

    Need it for my maths coursework for tomorrow, god year 11 is killing me already *Smack*

    Somebody will probably come up with a much better idea, but can't you just draw them on yourself once you've finished printing? Or you could save images for units and fives.

    I tried messing in M$ Paint a bit but it takes a while and looks dodgy once pasted into M$ word.

    I could draw them on myself.. I think, but would rather use the computer. I'll do that for a last resort though.

    Use pipes (| down in the bottom left of your keyboard), and then go to format font and choose strikethrough for the 5s

    Hmm, not a bad idea... but doesn't the five need to be diagnoal not horizontal?

    Edit: Bugger it, if my maths teacher doesn't like it he can go **** himself.

    Thanks
