RE: GD&T Symbols for MS/Word
AutoCAD (am I allowed to say that here?) installs GD&T fonts. Look for fonts AMGTD and GTD.
This all works on my computer because I have a couple of ancient versions of AutoCAD on here from a previous life. I have no idea of how SolidWorks implements GD&T symbols. You might just want to search through your fonts, AutoCAD or no AutoCAD.

If you're doing technical writing of any kind, SWGDT just won't cut it. After quite a search, I purchased PIXymbols for very little. You can compose complete FCFs to two-levels (composite). The datum callout symbol is missing. I tracked down the font creator and they are are working on a couple of corrections; the person whom advised him on the font set originally set him up with a mixture of 1982 & 1994 symbols per their preference. There are others out there as well, including some with the a more complete/accurate symbol set, but many of them are more expensive. I've used PIXymbols in MSWord & in Adobe Illustrator CS2 without much issue.
For the minor fee (around $30 as I recall), this is a great package.

I have used it in a number of reports in Word & PowerPoint.
Just remember to sent the font file to anyone you send a report to.
