Embedded Visio objects in Word replace symbols with wrong symbols

I have a bunch of flowcharts created with Visio that are embedded in Word as
Visio Objects. After I open them to edit, they lose all their formatting
information and all the text prints as Arial size 12 as opposed to Time New
Roman 10 as it appears on the screen. I discovered a way to fix this was
that after each time I edit, I right click on the embedded object, go to
Visio Object, and select "Convert...". I recently discovered that once I do
this, some of the symbols in the flowchart get replaced by other symbols.
Most notably, all the "greater than or equal to" and "less than or equal to"
symbols are replaced with equal signs. I've tried recreating the Visio
flowcharts from scratch and re-embedding them, and I've tried using a brand
new blank Word document and embedding a brand new Visio flowchart containing
only one box with a symbol in it, but I still encounter this problem.

Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?
