Inserting Visio drawings into Word documents

E

Elbert

Hello,

I haven't found a convenient way to insert Visio objects into a Word
document. Here's how I'd like to be able to do it:

1. “Insert|Object|Microsoft Visio drawing†would open Visio in separate
process with a large (say 8.5x11 inch) drawing space. (By default, Visio
edits in place with a 3x5 drawing space.)

2. When I return to Word, Visio would automatically remove the white space
from around the drawing for me. (By default, Visio leaves the white space; I
can get rid of it, but I haven't found a way to do it that comes even close
to convenient.)

3. When I double click on the drawing in Word, Visio would open in a
separate process with the drawing on the large drawing space exactly as it
was when I created it. (By default, it edits in place, and if I've
eliminated the white space there's no room to add to the drawing.)

I'd appreciate any guidance you can give me to set up Visio so it will work
this way, or a way that would be equally convenient.

Thanks,

Elbert
