I have made a figure in Corel draw and I want to use this figure as a
symbol in word. Can I add such a figure in a certain way to the
symbol list in word?

Not directly, no. The "symbol list" is a display of the characters in the
installed fonts. You'd have to use a font editor to put your figure into a
font (either create a new font or modify an existing one) as a character,
and then install that font in Windows.
