FWIW, you could try exporting the .VSD file to another format, such as a
GIF, and see if that'll show up correctly in your word document.
(We use GIFs and not JPEGs as a rule, partly because they aren''t a
lossy format and thus produce a clearer image in the document.)

Subject: Getting a Visio drawing into a Word document
I have a diagram that was created in Visio 2002. It's a mix of text,
jpgs of
our products, and Visio shapes. I need to put it in a Word document
(also
2002).
Word does not want to let me insert the .vsd (either as a picture or a
file). When I save the .vsd as something else (jpg, eps, gif), the image
is
fine in thumbnails in Windows Explorer. It's fine when I open the eps in
Illustrator. But when I put import the image into Word, everything drops
out
except for three lines of text. All the other text drops out, all the
Visio
shapes, all the jpgs of our products.
Does anyone know what's going wrong?
Thanks.
