I'm sure many of you chose to (or end up) creating your own graphics for
some documents. What package(s) do you use? I was using Micrografx
Designer but when I export to .drw and bring it into Word it gets altered
and looks lousy. I've been told good things about Aldus Freehand and
about Corel Draw. Any recommendations or caveats?
--------------------------
I create alot of computer and telecommunications network diagrams in Microsoft
PowerPoint, save them as WMF files and import them into Word.
Real easy, real accurate and no distortion.
