Hi Jill If your Visio diagrams are complicated, then reducing them from 'v large' to A4 might not be a good thing to do. However, ... Visio can save as some useful vector formats that can be scaled readily in any good drawing package. Corel Draw (my vavourite) or Illustrator will do a good job of it. If you don't have a graphic tool such as Corel Draw or Illustrator at hand, you can get a quickie resize by displaying the illustration in Word, PowerPoint or some other intermediate. Scale it to a size that satisfies you, and then capture the screen image. Clean up the image (if necessary) in Paint, and save as gif, png, jpeg or bmp or paste it directly into Frame.

Never had this trouble before and have tried everything I can think of - including turning them into PDFs - but there must be a better way.
