We're using Visio to add callouts (arrows and boxes with text) to screen
shots. These are inserted into Word95 using Insert/Object, Create from
file, no link. Then we use Doc-To-Help 2.1 (yes!) to produce Win95 Help.
The screen shots of the Visio appear, but not the callouts.
I've tried grouping and bringing the callouts to front, but nothing helps.
Any suggestions for a solution? We use Visio to keep callout text
translatable. Any better way to accomplish this? We don't want to use Word
callouts because of their instability. We don't want to convert the Visio
files to graphics formats like JPG or WMF, because that would mean an
extra step.
Thanks in advance for your help. Please reply to me directly, and I will
summarise to the list.
