paste image

Visio 2003: I have a Visio diagram which includes a pasted image. The
image is .jpg. I can paste the image, resize, preview and print the
diagram no problem but when I save, close and reopen the file the
image is no longer visible. I can select the outline of the image
shape; but the image itself is not visible. I've tried bring it to the
front etc all without effect. What's happening? Thanks for any input.

Hi Nige,

I have had better luck importing images into Visio than with pasting them.
You might try importing (Insert Picture From File...)

No explanation or proof, just a feeling from experience.

That works perfectly, many thanks. I'm a muppet for not thinking of
trying that myself.
