For the procedure to restore the command to the menu, see
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToToolbar.htm. In
the Tools > Customize dialog, the command you want is "Symbol..." in the
Insert category.

As for how it disappeared, it's possible that you accidentally pressed
Alt+Ctrl+Hyphen (the "remove menu command" shortcut) and then clicked Insert

Symbol. See http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/WorkMenu.htm for a

description of this nice little shoot-yourself-in-the-foot command.

shortcuts in the future....)
