    I've just tried embedding an .eps file in the latest Microsoft Word (2016) on Mac and it now appears to display the text correctly. Commented Jan 7, 2016 at 17:16
  • Thanks for testing, @mfitzp! Since posting this question my company has upgraded from Word 2010 to Word 2013. I decided to try again, but the problem still remains here. Either the issue got fixed in Word 2016, or the Mac version of Word is just better. Nevertheless, my questions about the workarounds (questions that are not platform-specific) still stand.

    For Microsoft Word 2010 and 2013 I save the figure as .svg and later I convert it to .emf using a free software called Inkscape. Commented May 5, 2016 at 17:39
