Paste Special+Link (for only a few objects)

[Ivan Salas]

Hi all,

I know that I can Copy/Paste Special/Link an entire Visio drawing or a
single object from a drawing, but when I try to do the same for a certain
portion of my drawing, Visio will not allow me to do so.

If I just want to copy and link, say, the top half of my drawing (copying
and linking all objects and connectors from the top half) to another
document, how would it be done?

Thanks,
Ivan

I created a Group from several objects to make the Paste Link option
function when pasting into Word. However, note that the Link is always to
the Drawing, not really to a piece of the drawing. In other words, when
you double click on the pasted item in a Word doc, for instance, it will
open the whole source drawing - no matter whether you linked an object, a
page, or a group - this is the way the link is stored, and is expected.
