Automatically convert Visio objects to PNG/JPG?

We are creating several very large Word 2003/2007 documents that have
Visio objects embedded within. These Visio objects, unfortunately,
are very large. What we end up doing is manually copying the object
into an image editor, save as PNG, then paste back into Word. We
start with documents around 15 MB and end up with documents less than
a megabyte. This work is very tedious! Is there anyway to
automatically convert Visio objects to images throughout an entire
Word document instead of having to go through each object by hand?

Our documents have dozens of such Visio objects!

I'm not sure what the deal is with word 2007. In word 2003 you used to
be able to use ctrl + shift + F9 to convert embedded objects to
graphics, this doesn't seem to be present in word 2007?

one of my peers has posted this for bulk image resizer. fundamentally,
select multiple image files and right click to change file type and
size.
i am not sure it applies to your Visio case.
