chess symbols in Word 2003

How do you get symbols for chess pieces in a Microsoft Word 2003
document?

In a solder version of MS Word (2000 I think) I was able to
Insert/Symbol and get them. Now I have a newer version (2003, SP2),
and if I bring up an old document that had chess piece symbols in it,
they are changed. For instance, a black king now shows up as a
superscript "3". Now I can't find the chess symbols under
Insert/Symbol. How do I get the chess piece symbols in Word 2003?

They are not part of Windows or Office font sets. I would guess that they
were installed as part of a chess application. Search Google for Fonts to
download.

These are fonts that must be installed (well, they or some other, similar
fonts) in order to display chess piece symbols.
