How do I add a check mark and crossed out circle symbols to a word document, preferrably in color? I'm looking for something that can be accessed from the insert menu, and not something like a font set. Resorting to clipart is the only other thing I know to do

More importantly where do I get stuff like that.
 
In the Insert>Symbol dialog, select the Wingdings2 font and you will find
what you need. After inserting them, you can use Format>Font to change the
color to your requirements.

Doug has told you how to do what you asked. You may want to explore active
(clickable) checkboxes, as well. There are a number of ways to create and
use clickable checkboxes in documents / templates. Some require protected or
locked forms, others do not. Take a look at the Checkbox template available
at http://www.addbalance.com/word/download.htm#CheckboxAddIn for an
exploration of these.
