Subject:RE: Guide to Visio for FrameMaker users? From:"Dan Goldstein" <DGoldstein -at- riverainmedical -dot- com> To:<techwr-l -at- lists -dot- techwr-l -dot- com> Date:Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:55:38 -0400
Truly an epic tale, Obi-wan.
Were the Visio drawings inserted as objects into the Word 2003
documents? If so, the best way to begin is:
1. Right-click the object.
2. Select Visio Object, and then Open (*not* Edit).
3. Now that you have the object open in Visio, save it as its own Visio
file.
4. Close the Word document, and open the separately saved file in Visio.
