Visio/Office guru?

["Leisa Ashbaugh" <leisa -dot- ashbaugh -at- aisystems -dot- org>]

HI - 

 

Is anybody good at troubleshooting and think you might be able to help
me with some Visio/Word weirdness? 

 

I am trying to copy/paste or insert a Visio drawing into a Word doc. I
know how to do it (by following procedures in Help) but in Word, the
Visio drawing does not display properly. 

 

Here were my steps: 

1.       Created & saved Visio drawing. 

2.       Tried to paste into Word using the following methods: 

*         Copy Drawing/Paste (special)

*         Insert Object. 

 

Results for both: no picture, but a 'frame' for the object is there

 

To troubleshoot, I opened a new document and pasted a Visio drawing
there successfully, but got the same bad result when I tried to paste a
second drawing.  I'm stumped. = (

 

Haven't found the right help in Help (Visio or Office) - can you help? J


 

Thanks,
