Difficulty in editing block diagram
I have a MS Word document, wherein the previous Technical Writer
created a process flow for a process using Visio 2000, I have the same version. There have been some changes to the process. So I need to change somethings in the process flow diagrams. For instance, I will need to change the server address in one of the blocks. Also I will need to delete and insert blocks at many places. When I try to do this directly from Word, by double clicking the block diagram, I do get a Visio graph. But it has a border around it. So if I were to add new blocks, they go out of focus. Though they still are visible in the graphical area, if any block exceeds that green colored border, it is not visible after I withdraw out of the Visio chart. Also, I can select individual blocks, but I face difficulties typing or editing the text in it. Whatever shape a block might be ,the area where in I can type the text is rectangular. Is this normal? Also if I edit any text, the look of the diagram changes. The font size might reduce or increase. This is very unpredictable. It's driving me nuts. Also, is this the best way to edit a visio diagram, directly from the Word document? I even tried right-clicking on the diagram, and selected Visio objectEdit. This opens up a Visio window, wherein something very queer happens. Though there is an original visio graph, the flow diagram opens up in a secondary graph within the original graph. I face the same problems adding new blocks as well as with the look of the diagram, as described above. I hope this makes sense and someone can help me out since I don't have much time.......SOS! |

Difficulty in editing block diagram
the good news is that the diagram was inserted as a visio object so that you
can edit it. Working through an OLE interface can be a little tough so it might be easier to open the original visio document in visio and get it done there and then reinsert into the word document. al "TechWriter" wrote in message ups.com...
