On my Office 2000, if you click on the symbol (which is not the same as
"highlighting it" - in fact I can't find how to highlight a symbol), pressing
the arrow keys will move the symbol in the corresponding direction; using
control+arrow will move the symbol by much smaller increments.
Have you changed anything in your Word settings (though I can't remember,
offhand, anything which would change this behaviour)?
