Symbol font printing error with Visio object in Word

[Gus]

Can anybody help with this problem:

1) I am writing a Word document using the symbol font (greek letters) to
describe some mathematic. The document prints fine.
2) I am making a Visio drawing with text using the symbol font. When
printing from Visio the document prints fine.
3) The Viso drawing is now inserted into the Word document as an object. The
Word document including the drawing looks great on the monitor. When
printing, the symbol font in the Word text comes out fine, but the text with
symbol font in the Visio drawing now prints as 'normal' letters !

I have tried to re-instal printer drivers, Visio, Word, etc, nothing helps.
I am using Word and Visio 2003 SP2.

Anybody having an idea what is going on here ? Is Word using a kind of a
Visio viewer that must be updated ?

regards
Gus

Try saving the Visio drawing as a WMF and insert it into the word doc.

Or just cut and paste into word rather than inserting an object.
