Powerpoint and Visio

Guest

I am using Pp 2000 SR-1 so if this is available in 2003, sorry for wasting
time.

I would like to be able to insert a Visio file into Pp retaining the
individual Visio objects in Pp. Currently a Visio diagram of multiple
objects(shapes) must be saved as a *.jpg file and then inserted as one object
in Pp. In order to use the individual shapes to link to other areas a
transparent, borderless Pp box is placed over the existing shape and than
linked.

Copy the diagram in Visio
Paste it into PPT
Ungroup it

That should give you exactly what you're after. It was good for me in
PowerPoint 95 and 97, I guess it'll be good for you in 2000. <g>

Hi,

It would be nice to have a little button on a thingy that searches for
objects with no lines and no fills just for this occurrence. I hate having
to find them all when ungrouping metafiles. <g>

Well, yes. As long as I didn't put it there just to have a custom connector
connection!
