To add a Tick symbol in MS Office Excel, Word or PowerPoint , you need to go to INSERT > SYMBOL from the toolbar and select the Font Wingdings, in the character code box Enter number 252

Here you will get both the simple Tick and a Ticked box symbol.
Cross Symbol and Crossed box symbol are also present there and can by inserted if desired
Here is how they look like
