Re: "Zooming" in on screen shot
Visio does it easily:
Dan, what about image quality? In your experience, does it hold up? Your way is what I do when I can get away with it, but manipulating Windows meta-files (those pasted elements) sometimes lets me down. In all cases where it doesn't, your vector-y method is much easier and flexible.
Also, Visio's export filters are a little crude -- but I'm stalled at Visio 2000. Maybe they've finally improved? I guess transparency support is better these days, but I've no first-hand experience.
Where the document tool is FrameMaker, I've had good results *PDF-ing* the Visio output (rather than exporting to GIF, PNG, etc.) and linking the PDF into the Frame frame. Frame. Frame. All-Adobe all-the-time seems to play best together -- for the Adobe-indentured.
