Well, Word's graphic tools are hardly the best, but they're probably 
adequate for what you're doing.

Given that, read up on the Glossary feature of Word.

Basically, you'll want to select each symbol you've created, select 
'Glossary' and define a new entry, naming the symbol with a unique 
keyword.

From then on, you will be able to insert that symbol by selecting the 
Glossary keyword. (Shortcut: When typing, press <Command-Delete> and type 
enough of the keyword to be unique. Press return and the symbol should be 
inserted.)

You'll want to save the changes to your Glossary once you are finished. 
You can either choose to save it in the Standard Glossary or create a 
custom Glossary (using Save when the Glossary dialog is up). You will 
need to load the custom Glossary when you need it, however. (The Standard 
Glossary automatically loads each time you run Word.)

Good luck!
