This also carries all the Visio overhead, that you might not need. If you do Paste Special, you can choose to paste as a Windows Metafile, which will maintain vectors for smooth printing, or you can paste as a bitmap as well.

That way it remains fully editable as a visio document, does retain backgrounds, and prints/scales perfectly The down side is that you can end up with massive documents if you have a large number of visio diagrams Cheers Jo Arguably a better approach (at least re:Word) is to embed the visio document inside the word document.
