When I import a diagram with dashed lines in Visio into a Word document, the dashed lines are converted to solid lines. The only way I've found to correct it is to draw the dashed line (or circle, square...) in Word, copy it, open the Visio diagram in the Word document (by double-clicking on the diagram), then paste the Word line into the Visio window. Then the original Visio line can be removed and replaced by the new Word line. If anyone knows a simpler technique to move broken Visio lines into a Word document, I'd be happy to hear it. -- mm

- 1. HOW TO INSERT A COMPLETE IMAGE OF A SITE IN WORD
hOW TO INSERT A COMPLETE IMAGE OF A WEB SITE AS A PHOTO IN WORD? CTRL+ALT+STAMP? i DON'T KNOW! - 2. large capture
Hi, i am wondering if there is a piece of software that can capture an image that is much larger than a screen can hold, typically a map, i.e. an application that can allow scrolling the picture while capturing it. I use french software called Carto explorer that has its own format for the maps. I found a few utilities that can convert automatically these files (.byo) into .bmp's, but I am not able to get it work. I am not sure about the size, but I think the dimension of thus obtained pictures would be around 10.000 * 10.000px -isn't this too much for my computer (2400MHz) to handle? thanks for any help Pavel - 3. rotate

Hi M., What version of Word, what version of Visio, what format you saving the files in from Visio and what method are you using to import them into Word? ========== When I import a diagram with dashed lines in Visio into a Word document, the dashed lines are converted to solid lines.

Hey Bob, thanks for the reply. I use Office Word 2003 SP, part of Office Pro 2003. And Visio Standard 2003 SP2. I save the Visio files in the basic .vsd format. I "embed" the Visio files into the Word document by copying (^A ^C) the Visio diagram, and pasting it (^V) into the Word document. -- Mark

I've got the same problem when I have rectangles with dashed lines. the problem seems to be with the size of the rectangle - I've got some small ones that work fine and big ones that don't. And because I was interested to see when it breaks I kept changing the size and came up with the following: at 68mm wide and 64 mm high it works fine. Change it to 68*65 and it doesn't. I'm using Word 2002 sp3 and visio professional 2003 sp1.

2.Saving a multi-page file in a non-visio format for import to WORD
I would like to Save a multi-page file (10 pages of drawings) in non-visio formats for import to WORD, adobe illustrator, etc. However, when I go to save as, and select the relevant format, unless I choose the visio default, "drawing", as the file type, visio only saves a converted version of the drawing page that was currenlty highlighted in the multi-page visio file. I can't find anyhting on how to convert all ten pages in one fell swoop, as one file, for import. Does Visio allow this or does this actually require saving as for every single page, and then separate importing into WORD, ad nauseam!?

3.Visio shape losing formatting when copying diagram into Word
Whenever I attempt to copy certain Visio shapes (re-formatted to have a dotted line and re-sized larger) into Word, the dotted line formatting is lost and Word treats it as a solid line. For example, 1) open new basic drawing 2) Drag 'square' shape from 'Basic Shapes' 3) Format/Line: set pattern to type '02' (dotted line) 4) Copy shape and paste into Word. This works correctly without any problem. However, now re-size the square to about 5 or 6 times it's original default size and copy back into Word. The line around the square is now shown as a solid line, rather than dotted as it was in Visio. In Visio have tried the 'Copy Drawing' and 'Select All/Copy'. In Word have tried 'Edit/Paste', 'Edit/Paste Special/Microsoft Visio Drawing Object' and 'Edit/Paste Special/Picture (Enhanced Metafile)' and numerous combinations of the various Visio copy and Word paste commands but all to no avail. In summary, once the shape has been re-sized larger Word treats the dotted line as if it should be solid. Any suggestions gratefully received...

4.Losing text formatting when saving as visio 2002 format
Hi, I'm currently using Visio 2003 Standard SP2. However I always save drawings in visio 2002 format so that colleagues with that version can open them. All visio drawings I produce contain a footer that have a text logo in a font different to standard office fonts. The problem is whenever I save drawings as version 2002 I lose the text formatting for the company logo and it reverts to Arial which is not good. If i save as visio 2003 it is fine. How can I fix this??? Thanks in advance.
