Combining VISIO files with mail merged Word document

[Bob Bullard]

I am trying to create a composite document that has four pages. The first
page is a VISIO (2003 Professional) file that contains several pictures and a
converted AutoCAD (R14) drawing file. The following three pages are a Word
merged file created from an Access database.

I would like to be able to have a combined file for for hard copy
reproduction. This particular document has 220 reports that all have the
same basic format.

I have tried exporting various file types (tif, jpg, wmf, bmp, etc.) from
VISIO, then inserting into Word as picture or object and most are
unacceptable quality when printing also the file becomes very large in size.

I have also tried to paste the VISIO file into Publisher. The quality seems
alright, but just one VISIO file by itself was 36Mb.

I have done this before using Adobe and I loose a little quality in the
pictures and the drawing, but it does help keep the file size manageable.

I would deeply appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks,
