Hi, Raj,

If you can remember this when you need it, type a backslash ( \ ) and format
it in Symbol font.

If you can't remember the right character, just remember that it's in Symbol
font. Go to Insert > Symbol, select Symbol in the font dropdown, and
double-click the symbol (it's between the left and right square brackets).
 
Open Word's Insert | Symbol dialog and select the Symbol font. The symbol
for "therefore" is character 0092. Unfortunately, this font does not contain
the symbol for "because," and neither of the symbols is in the basic Unicode
character set (used by, say, Times New Roman or Arial). If you have Arial
Unicode MS, you'll find both glyphs in the Mathematical Operators subset (at
2234 and 2235). Arial Unicode MS is a "large" Unicode font that is not
installed by default, so you may need to rerun Setup to install it.

Do you mean in Word, change the font to Symbol GST and while holding ALT
type from number keyboard 0092 ? This works.
