Visio to Word to Outlook

[Bob Greene]

I tried this question about a month ago, and got no helpful replies; perhaps
I wasn't clear enough.

I have Word documents that are responses to students. I'd like to prepare
drawings in Visio - insert them into the Word document (which works fine),
and then cut and paste sections of the Word document (including the
drawing(s) into an Outlook (for the Web) mail message.

I've tried to save/export the Visio drawing in various formats, but in no
case does the drawing appear in the Outlook mail message.

I'm using XP-home, Word 2000, Visio 2003 (which I purchased for this
project).

My present work-around is to export to a .JPG, and then attach to the mail
message - poorly integrated - students get confused when they cannot see the
diagram and the description together.

Thanks for any help or pointers.

Why don't you save the document as a whole (or part of) and include it as
attachment ?

I think that for Visio it is better to export the files in .WMF, in order to
preserve the vectorial nature of the drawings.
