TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
One thing we discovered here (a couple of years ago, when we were trying
to publish ERwin models): Our ERwin models were very large, and the
resulting PDFs were nearly unreadable, because they were trying to cram
too much information onto a too-small "page" in the PDF. I'm not sure if
more recent versions have overcome that limitation.

People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are
doing it.

Subject: ERWin --> Word
Apparently half of our developers once worked on the ERWin product at
LogicWorks so I asked one of them.
Depending on the version of ERWin you may have a utility called ERWin
Web
publisher which converts your diagram (including annotations) into PDF.
This
utility used to be a separate cost then at one point it was given away
with
ERWin.
In ERWin 4 there is something called the Report Template Builder. In the
"RTB" as it's known, you can save ERWin diagrams as JPG or HTML.
Then the developer suggested that if those two options are not available
in
your version of ERWin, you could always take screen shots.... <g>
