Importing Word Outline Doc into Visio
I haven't tried it recently, but, as I remember the word outline is pulled
in as an xml document (it's a one way trip btw) so it's probably important what version of Word you're using. al "GiantFlamingo" wrote in message ...

Importing Word Outline Doc into Visio
I am using Word 2007 and VIsio Pro 2007.
I have saved the word Doc as XML and attempted to import to Visio but receive a "schema" error. Was MS lying when they said this could be done? Frustrated |

Importing Word Outline Doc into Visio
by the way this is a user forum, if you'd like to get a MS response you
should open a trouble ticket with them al (who doesn't work for MS) resending In my experience, I haven't ever caught MS intentionally lying in print. I just tried some a few simple tests.. a.) create a mindmap in visio, save as xml, schema saved as brainstorm schema... b.) read the saved brainstorm xml file back into viso, came back fine c.) export the brainstorm drawing to Word, showed up as expected in a new document (xml based) d.) modified the outline in Word and attempted to save it back, Word 2007 gives a warning message about overwriting the schema and then trashes the output. IMHO, I'd suggest you carry the battle over to the Word people, Al "GiantFlamingo" wrote in message ... On Jul 31, 3:36 am, GiantFlamingo wrote: I am using Word 2007 and VIsio Pro 2007.

Importing Word Outline Doc into Visio
We all know MSoft monitors these newsgroups. So as I said I think the
only decent thing they could di would be to explain how they themselves said you could import a Word outline into Visio brainstorm (obviously the didn't mean the round-about way you had attempted) or admit that they were ....lying....oh I meant "mistaken advertising".... |
