I think you will have to have a copy of visio in order to see the visio 
diagram that is included in a MS Word document.

Re: New shapes in Dia

2009-06-11 Thread Steffen Macke
Hi Peter,

NewShape.dia references an object that is not part of the Dia
distribution. Thus it does not open
correctly. for me.

"other grafic elements" - did you embed bitmap images in your shape
(i.e. did you use the Image object)?
I cannot recommend embedding images as you have to be very careful
about getting the references right.

The following workaround might help you: Instead of wrapping your
images into shapes, consider to distribute
the images themselves.

Regards,

Steffen

Re: adding a line result in a line without an arrow

2009-06-11 Thread Loek Bergman
Hi PoWah,


If you start DIA you will get several distinct windows. One of them has the
name 'Dia' and the version you are using.
In that window you see at the bottom your arrow. There you can define what
kind of arrow you would like to have - or just a straight line - if that is
what you wish.


With kind regards,


Loek

Re: read visio drawing in a word document

2009-06-11 Thread Michael Ross
If Brian is correct, then you may wish to try taking a screen image of the
visio diagram, this can be placed in Dia and you can edit over top of it.
MS Word also has image annotation capability in the picture editor.
