Go to the Insert menu, choose Picture, and then choose AutoShapes. One of the AutoShapes is a heart. You can scale it by clicking and dragging one of the six points around the outline. If you make it transparent and choose “In Front of Text” as the wrapping option in the AutoShape formatting toolbar, the text will show through it, which I think is what you want.
