You can sometimes experience problems when attempting a copy-all and paste
sequence. Frequently, the imported diagram will spill all over the page
and, because it is effectively a picture, it is sometimes difficult to
control its placement within Word documents. One of the tricks I use is to
create a text box in word and then paste the Visio diagram in the text box.
This allows you to control image size by manipulating the text box
properties.
If you are going to do a straight "import" (as opposed to a paste) save the
Visio as a .WMF file; otherwise, you may have some problems with some
connector lines.

I've found Visio is somewhat troubling
when trying to import diagrams into
Word.
Microsoft Word 97 works well for
creating diagrams. It may take
a little more manual "work" than
Visio because you must group/regroup
objects together for complex diagrams.
I don't create many diagrams,
but so far have found Word to be
friendlier that Visio.
