Re: read visio drawing in a word document
How to take a screen image of the visio diagram? I selected the visio diagram by the mouse, right clicked and run the "Copy" menu in MS Word. The "Paste" menu in Dia is not highlighted so I cannot paste. --- On Thu, 6/11/09, Michael Ross wrote: > From: Michael Ross > Subject: Re: read visio drawing in a word document > To: "discussions about usage and development of dia" > Received: Thursday, June 11, 2009, 10:17 PM > 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.

Re: read visio drawing in a word document
Hi PoWah, Independent if the solution provided by Michael Ross will work, I do not know, but have you used print screen? With Paint you could select the visio diagram. Or you could paste the image first in Paint, then save it and try opening that in Dia.

Re: read visio drawing in a word document
I take screen imiages different ways depending on my need for quality and type of output. Most often I use the free program Google Picasa. When Picasa is running I hit Ctrl-Print Screen and the screen image is copied to a folder in My Pcitures (using Windows XP OS). Picasa offers a number of simple image modification options. Mostly I just use Crop. My next choice is an old (free) demo called LView Pro. (Menu picks - Edit/Cpature/Desktop) This gives me more control over the captured image including resizing and some more useful filters than are in Picasa. This is an unsupported program that I can share with you iif you like. I will regret when Windows "goes beyond" the ability to run this simpkle and useful program. I rarely use the native screen capture in WIndows (Print Screen key and Alt-Print Screen as mentioned by another). This method puts a bitmap of the screen image on the Windows clipboard. You can past the screen image using a paste command.

Re: read visio drawing in a word document
There is no paste or import function to use. To place an image in Dia you create an image from the main menu palette. Then by using the Image Properties you select the image file to be displayed.

Re: "Gane and Sarson", "Process" object does not flip
Hello PoWah, As the original developer for the Gane and Sarson shapes for Dia, I've had a look at your problems. Your first two problems needed a bit of work but I believe I've fixed them. I've attached a compressed file - you can extract this into /usr/share on Linux (sorry if you're on Windows!) and it'll update the shapes appropriately. I'll submit a proper patch for Dia later. As for your last problem - that is a problem inherent in Dia - it cannot rotate text, it only rotates the shape. As the process is symmetric, rotating it will not make any difference!

When given word docs with images embedded, I use the "Save as HTML" function, which puts the images in a subdirectory there. Toss the HTML and get your images. Now, whether that will work for a Visio embedded image, I don't know. And of course, your output will be a jpg, not whatever it was when it went in there.
