I was using this function just fine a couple of weeks ago. Now when I go to
"insert" on the toolbar in WORD, and try to insert a symbol the program
crashes and says it must shut down. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the
program with no fix to this problem. If I try to insert a picture it still
works fine, so it is only the insert symbols that causes this crash. HELP!!!

It sounds like corruption in Normal.dot or the registry. I'd take a look at
the suggestions here to see if any resolve your problem:

Crashing on inserting a symbol also often indicates a problem with the
printer driver, so it might be advisable to delete and reinstall the
printer.

I thought symbols were suppose to crash. No, wait... that's cymbals.
