How to export flow-charts from ppt to doc without losing quality?

[LeeC]

I have created quite complex flow charts in PPT and want to use these images
in Word. I have tried copying the images, converting to pdf and then adding
the images and also exporting the file to word as slides and then copying the
images. So far the last option has worked best, but I want to know if there
is a better way? Or even an easy way to create flow charts (with connectors)
in Word?

You might try grouping the images as one and then save the image (not the
slide) out as a jpg or a tif and then insert the jpg or tif into Word. I
suspect the tif will work better.

Which version of Word do you have?

I'm using 2007. I think the main problem is that when it is converted to an
image, the text becomes fuzzy. Is there a way to export the text boxes so
that Word reads it as text boxes, not an image. I originally grouped the
image, copied and pasted it into the Word doc. It came out fuzzy. As
mentioned, exporting presentation as "slides" into Word and then copying them
into the document, seemed to work best but is there an easy way?

Try doing a paste special as an enhanced metafile or a windows metafile.
That should paste it in as an actual flowchart then...

(The reason I asked about version is you can create flowcharts directly in
2007 - it was a bit tricky in 2003 as it didn't have any connector shapes.)
