Moving diagrams into other applications

Hi Mike

Thank you for your question.

There are a few ways that users without Visio installed on their PCs can view Visio files.

Firstly, Visio viewer downloads are available from the Microsoft web site. If you go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads and search for Visio viewer you will find a few different viewers, the appropriate one will depend on which version of Visio the files to be viewed are created in.

Also you can save a Visio file in different formats, including image file formats like jpeg. When you go to File - Save as, use the dropdown arrow by Save as type you will see that you can save the Visio file as an image.

To put the diagram into another program (e.g. Word) you could save the Visio file as a jpeg (as above) then insert the jpeg using Insert - Picture - From File in Word.
Otherwise use Ctrl + A to select the whole diagram, copy and paste it into the Word document.

I hope this helps.
