Tally marks are another form of representing numbers that can be used in Word.
Tally marks are a numbering system. A vertical line is used to count your first four numbers, while a horizontal or diagonal line strikes through the first four (designating the number five). As your numbers increase, your tally marks grow, so two groups of tally marks (with a diagonal line) would indicate the number 10. Although Microsoft Word was not designed to create tally marks, you can create them with a little customization, by changing your font or by incorporating the strike-through effect.
Instructions
Using Strikethrough
1. Open a new or existing document in Microsoft Word.
2. Select the Times New Roman font from the Formatting toolbar, then type the pipe key |, that is just beneath the backspace key on your keyboard.
3. Create a five by typing the pipe key four times. Highlight them on your page and click on Format and Font in the toolbar (shortcut: Ctrl+D). Then add a checkmark to Strikethrough under Effects and press OK. The tally mark will be created for you.
