Microsoft Word is perhaps the most used application today to create professional documents both corporate and personal thanks to its wide range of options at the level of presentation, configuration and editing of the text entered. The trademark symbol is important when we want to inform you that our brand or one that we are naming is registered and thus be able to defend it in possible disputes. The copyright symbol on the other hand indicates that a work is original and that it is copyrighted thus protecting the intrinsic values ​​established by the law..
Within these configuration options, we can highlight one in particular that is the insertion of symbols, these are based on the available sources of the Word and we can add hundreds of options as necessary and as we well know.
