Pasted Visio2013 drawings to Word2010/2013 print (and preview) horrible

Hi,

I create some Visio2013 drawings and try to Copy/Paste to Word both 2010&2013 version.

It looks like resolution is awful and printed drawings in word document is almost unreadibly.

I have an bypass - to save visio drawing as .wmf file than paste to Word - but this scenario is uncomfortable.

Maybe someone know trick how to directly paste drawings to word ?

Best Regards

Hi,
We can copy drawings from Visio to a Word document directly, click Paste Special to insert this Visio drawing. Or you can insert this Visio drawing from Insert > Object > Create from file. Under these circumstances, you can edit Visio drawing by double clicking it.
Note: Make sure that tick the option of link to file.

If the above doesnt work, you can save the Visio drawing as a graphic file, then insert it into Word. This method preserves the formatting of the shapes, the text, and the fill. However, the layer properties are not retained.
1. Save the Visio drawings as graphic file types, such as .jpg or .png.
2. Open Word, insert picture from Insert > Picture.

Feel free to post back.
