stymied

Hi folks:

    After a little struggle (never having used any diagram-creating software before) I figured out how to manipulate the lines, and thought, "Okay, everything should proceed smoothly from here."  The fact that I'm writing indicates otherwise.  My purpose in creating the diagram was to include it in a document; I use Jarte as my word-processor.  But despite trying everything, I couldn't transport my completed diagram to Jarte.  I have Windows XP, and I believe if I could get the dia file into My Pictures then it would be fine.  But after exploring every possibility that I could think of, I couldn't get it into My Pictures.  Desperate, I even printed it out, scanned it into my computer, got it as an Adobe file, copied the Adobe and pasted it into a new Jarte document--yes, it appeared there, but it was unacceptable because the small diagram was surrounded by a lot of empty space with an invisible pit bull with ferocious territorial instincts guarding it..  I simply couldn't get inside those borders.  In any case, this would have been an obviously unsatisfactory  solution even if I had gotten it to work.  I looked through your manual but didn't see anything clearly applicable.  I'd be deliriously happy and grateful for any help you can provide.
