In theory this would be done like this

Code:

Sub InsertMe()
  With Application.Dialogs(wdDialogInsertSymbol)
    .Font = "Symbol"      'this isn't working for me
    SendKeys "%fsym{DOWN}{ENTER}"
    .Show
  End With
End Sub

However that .Font line isn't working for me and I don't know why. I've added the dodgy SendKeys line to mimic the keyboard steps.
