shrinking Word diagrams

[Barbara White]

Using Word 2000 on Windows 2000.

I have a group of about 20 large graphics that were drawn in Word.
The figures stretch across two portrait-sized pages and are, at
times, tight & crowded.

The authors want to repeat these drawings in the appendix, but have
them appear on *one* landscaped page. The font can be reduced, but
it will still have to be legible.

I can rework each of the figures, but it will take time. I've just
spent an hour on one figure and I'm only maybe 2/3 finished. Is
there some other way to do this or has anyone done anything like
this before? Any hints for how to proceed other than the obvious of
just repositioning/reworking figures that have reduced fonts?

You might try selecting the entire drawing, copying, and then using Paste
Special | As Picture. This converts the drawing to a picture that can be
resized as a whole.
