Can I add a custom symbol to the symbol list in word?

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.

Hi Tim-

As an extension to Jay's post, if you need to use the symbol frequently you
might want to create a macro to insert it as a picture and assign a kbyd
shortcut to it or use a custom button on a toolbar.
