Copy paste from Visio into Word

[Gokhan]

I create a Visio drawing with lines and letters.
Visio displays all of them correctly. When I copy and paste the
drawing into Word, all the lines disappear.
I go back to Visio and save the drawing to a GIF and JPG and
import/insert them into word as a file.
I also changed tickness of the lines. It did not work.

Has anyone encountered this problem and found a solution.

Win2k with the latest SP. Visio and Word 2003 with SP1 btw.

Unfortunately, the comp.windows.x.apps and comp.windows.open-look newsgroups
won't have an answer for you. You see, these newsgroups do not have anything
to do with Microsoft Windows operating systems or applications, but instead
discuss aspects of the use of the X networking protocol to enable networked
windowed applications. Your problem is not an X or open-look (an X
environment) problem.

Sorry

I wasn't aware that Visio or Word ran as X applications, and certainly
not as Sun OpenLook ones.

It seems likely that you should have picked yor newsgroups more
carefully...
