Use graphics created in Visio

[datagog]

What happened to the ability to cut and paste complex geometric shapes from
Visio into PowerPoint? Used to be you could paste, then right-click, choose
Visio object and Convert, now you have to Paste Special, embed Visio object,
then right-click, choose Visio object, convert and nothing happens. I have a
need to introduce accurate elements created in Autocad or Visio that aren't
easy to create or modify in PowerPoint. This used to work now it doesn't. A
workaround would be fine, but pasting the object as a picture gives me no
control.

Current versions Visio 2007 and PPT 2007. Previous 2003 and 2003. In the
previous versions, I could create a complex graphic in Autocad if I needed
to, import and edit in Visio, then import and convert to PPT (where I could
then use PPT graphics or color options consistent with theme. The new color
options in PPT 2007 are great, trying to manipulate the graphic forms not so
good. I was wondering if anyone else might have figured it out.
