Insert symbols into a Word document

I have been using .InsertSymbol but it doesn't do exactly what I want. It seems that this method will only let you insert a symbol at the beginning of a range or selection. I want to create the word document which I have done, then insert a symbol(custom bullet) then text, then go to a new like, insert symbol and text, and repeat the process. How can I do this? I also tried using different ranges based on how many characters I add but then I get a "Value out of range" exception. Help! Thanks :)

I figured it out but it seems hacky... I set the initial range to just be blank spaces, then I keep making new ranges and setting the symbol using just one space. Is that the best way to do it?
