Importing a Word Document into Visio
I would like to import a word document into visio. It is one page long. Is
there a way to do that? I was unable to capture it as an image. There is no image writer printer installed. I tried word art, but was unsucessful. I was wondering if I should just make one really big shape and put all the text in there. Any ideas? |

You *should* be able to copy the text from Word, the go to Visio and choose
Edit Paste Special, and pick Word Document from the list. This will embed an actual Word document in your drawing, so you'll maintain the rich formatting, etc. You can also try Insert Object ... From File, or even Link to get similar results. I keep getting an "Out of memory" error when doing this with Visio 2003 and Word 2003. Perhaps you'll have better luck. I know it's worked for me in the past... -- Hope this helps, Chris Roth Visio MVP "CT" wrote in message ... I would like to import a word document into visio. It is one page long.

Copy, edit, paste special works fine for me (Word 2K,
Visio 2K) except for the limitation in page size from Word. Our Visio flows are big (physically) and there appears to be a limitation on the size of the Word special paste to about a page of text (at whatever font size fills a page). Is there a way to get the ENTIRE word doc linked in (and displayed), even if it is 3 pages long, for example? Not a show stopper, obviously.
