You could use the = sign (equals) for a double bond.
But, I don't know of any symbol available (even with Equation Editor
or MathType) for a triple bond.
You can use drawing tools in both Word and Excel. Choose to View the
drawing toolbar if it isn't already visible. Draw 3 lines and space
them how you like. Group them. They become a picture that you can copy
and paste wherever you need them. You do have to include some spaces
in the text, e.g  C     C, so there is room for the picture. The
pictures float over the text rather than become associated with a
line. So if you add something before the first C above, like H-, the
subsequent text will move, but you have to move the picture manually.

There's nothing from directly within Word unless you purchase a font that
contains the glyphs you need or if they're available in MathType eq editor.

Are you familiar with the OS X Character Palette? Have a look in Mac Help as
well as here:

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1064.html

Although you will probably find usable characters keep in mind that docs
sent elsewhere electronically or as attachments may not be received by
systems that are able to display those characters - PC or Mac - unless they
have the necessary/comparable fonts installed. If you need to distribute
other than printed copies send them as PDFs.
