Is there a good source for music symbols that can be inserted into Word docs?

Music-engraving applications come with fonts of musical symbols.

Most commercial packages come with fonts which aren't freely
available. A free font containing music symbols can be found at

That could be useful for inserting symbols into running text. But it
couldn't do more than the simplest example of music on a staff. (No
way to slant the beams, for instance.) The major commercial packages
(such as Finale and Sibelius) have student versions that seem to be a
free download and must include at least some of their special fonts if
only so that the student can read the file distributed by the teacher
(like the relationship between Acrobat and Reader).

Well, the OP did ask for "music symbols that can be inserted into Word
docs," not a way to create sheet music.

The font does include a five-line staff character, so it _could_ be
used for notating a simple melody (positioning the notes with
Character Spacing and Overstrike) -- such as are sometimes included in
program notes or CD liners --, but it will very soon become a source
of frustration.
