To create a tally mark in Word, press the “Shift” key and the pipette key -- the key directly below the Backspace key. This inserts a single tally mark. You then can add a couple of other tally marks to the page. If you highlight some or all of the tally marks and click the “Strikethrough” button, your tally marks will look like they’ve been crossed out

Another way to make tally marks is with the line tool. First, click the “Insert” tab, then click the “Shapes” button and choose the first Line shape. Position the cursor on the page, press the “Shift” key to keep a straight line and drag the mouse. Release the “Shift” key and the first tally mark appears. Click it to copy and paste exact replicas.
