Saving to Powerpoint

[Fatima]

Hi,

I would like to know how can I save Visio diagrams as
powerpoint. I want the users to be able to edit the
diagram in powerpoint as well (i.e. selecting each
line/shape).

How can I do it in reverse (from powerpoint to visio).

Thanks.
Fatima

David Edson's book (Professional Development With Visio 2000) has some
examples of going to and from Powerpoint.

Hi,

Sorry, I am not in North America and I don't think I can
find this book here.
Is there anything (like an convertor, etc) such that I
can do this conversion?

Thanks.

Fatima, Did this book answer your question? I have the

same question as you do. I would like to be able to move
between powerpoint and visio while still being able to
edit the seperate boxes and lines. Were you able to do
this after all?

If you want to retain editability of the diagram, paste your Visio diagram
into PowerPoint as an embedded OLE object (the default option). If you only
want the graphic image, paste as an enhanced metafile.

Hi Mark,

Thank you. However, I cannot see "embedded OLE object"
under Paste Special.

Please advise where I can download such convertor.

Thanks.

Thank you. However, I cannot see "embedded OLE object"

In PowerPoint, you might try
Insert >> Object >> Create from file
and browse to select a Visio file. This embeds a copy of the diagram into
the PowerPoint file.

To edit the diagram, use the right mouse button and "Open Visio Object."
Visio has to be installed in order to edit the diagram.
