How do I add a registered trademark to my item description on my invoices?

Best answer by Archie_B

Hi there, boydandboyd.

 

I'll guide you on how to add a registered trademark symbol in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

To add a registered trademark symbol (®) to your item description on your invoices in QuickBooks Desktop, you can follow these steps below:

 

  1. Open QuickBooks Desktop.
  2. Go to the Customers menu and hit Create Invoices. If you're editing an existing invoice, locate the invoice you want to edit and open it.
  3. In the invoice form, click on the item description field to edit it. 
  4. To insert the registered trademark symbol (®), you can use the keyboard Alt-code to enter the symbol. For the registered trademark, press and hold the "Alt" key, then type "0, 1, 7, 4" using the numeric keypad.
  5. Once done, select Save & Close.

 

To learn more about the different ways to create an invoice, see this article as a reference: Create an invoice in QuickBooks Desktop.

 

Also, if you'll be interested to know how to use and personalize invoice forms and other related transactions, here's a link you can use as a guide: Use and customize form templates.

 

Keep me posted for more questions and other concerns about the invoice, I'll be around if you need me. Have a great day!
