atw: Re: A very simple visio to word question

.... to save space, select just the items you want and File|SaveAs
jpeg. Then import jpeg into word as usual.   You dont get a copy of
the source in the doc, but the file size will end up smaller.

Cheers,
Luke

My 2c worth regarding the copy n paste - do a paste special!!
I also agree about snooping around for hidden text or other 'boxes' that
might be lurking invisibly!

How are you getting the Visio picture? I usually just do a Ctrl A to
select all objects. It highlights the selected objects with a purplish
box to indicate what you're getting. I would then copy and paste into
Word.
I usually paste using a Ctrl V which then gives you the Visio objects
that can be re-edited.

If you're getting the purplish box extending beyond what you want, you
possibly have a white line or box or text in there. Do a drag select to
find it. It may extend into the objects you want so you can Ctrl select
to unselect them. When you're left with only the invisible bit, delete
it. There may also be problems with the unwanted bit being grouped into
something else. You'll notice that if you unselect a wanted bit and the
box around the invisible bits disappears.

HTH,
Terry
