Inserting Viso objects in Word (dotted lines problem) 1

[Esquimaux]

Hi,

When I insert a Visio object in an MS Word document, any dotted lines connecting blocks together in a Block Diagram appear as full lines in the Word document.

Does anyone have a workaround for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Mine appear as dotted lines. Visio 2000 & Word 2000.

The emf file has a limitation to what it can do. The dotted line will cause emf to bloat and as such reasult in huge file size for Word.

You can try breaking the dotted lines into a number of shorter dotted lines. Or, you can try changing to a larger pen size.

Followed the second advice...

I tried with the Connector type lines Instead of the Tree lines, and it works.

I hate having to use more than one object to connect one block to many others, but at least now it's MS Word and printer friendly.

Thanks,
