Visio 2003 text

[PeterN]

I am having visual problems with Visio 2003 text when converting to PNG, JPG,
TIF or any other format.

The text, particularly bold text, is blurry to the eye and, when there is a
lot of text, as there are on many of our flow diagrams, this is very
disconcerting.

When magnified, in the oputput format, the text (even normal text) shows
multiple 'shadow' effects. Is there any way to turn these off or otherwise
not have them occur? I can provide screen shots of the final and magnified
size - if there is an address I can mail to.

Regards,

PeterN

The normal resolution at which images are saved is at 96dpi, Set the
resolution in the dialog to custom and specify 300dpi.
You will also get better quality by saving intially as a wmf or emf
file and converting to your required format in a good graphics editor.

Thank you Paul - I had figured that a higher resolution would be required,
but hadn't thought of saving as emf and going from there.
