Save visio as WMF, insert in word, paste to outlook problem

[Bob Greene]

I'm using Outlook Web Access.

The application requires that I cut and paste from a Word document into
Outlook Mail - usually as a reply to incoming mail.

I have created some diagrams (in Visio), saved them in .WMF format, and
inserted them into the Word document, and all looks well and prints well.
When I highlight the appropriate section in the Word document and copy/paste
it into the mail, all the lines disappear! - text is intact. Diagrams are
meaningless!

Am I doing something wrong, or is there a better way? I have used some
attachments, but many corporate email systems reject or strip attachments,
so an "in context" solution is preferred.

Thanks for your help and suggestions.

remembering that wmf is a metafile format and you probably have to include
all vertices of a shape for word to copy the shape. short answer, not a
visio problem

Thanks for the reply.

How do I include all the vertices? Use a different format?
