Re: read visio drawing in a word document

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

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.

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.
