Taking notes in Microsoft Word usually requires only the skill of typing words using the letters on the keyboard. Making music notes, on the other hand, also requires typing keys, but in distinctly specific ways. Word may not be the ultimate choice for rendering high-level music documents such as symphonies, but through some fancy fingerwork, you can make sweet music right on the page. Word offers the potential to type several hidden symbols, which can make your readers take serious note of your work.
Step 1
Open Microsoft Word. To add music note symbols to an existing document, click the "File" tab and browse to the file.
