Suppose the addresses without the symbols are in column B, beginning in row
2.
In C2, type:

="<"&B2&">"

Copy the formula down. Copy all the cells with the new syntax. Edit-Paste
special as values.
Delete column B.

<-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*-><-*->
Hope this helps!

In another column
 
Assuming addresses start in cell A1 enter in cell B1

=if(left(A1,1)="<",+A1,+"<" & A1 & ">")

Copy down as far as necessary

convert them back to text using Edit/Paste/Special Values
