Hi,

Using Visio Professional 2002.

Is there a way to copy a visio page with a background and then paste it into
a Word document? If I "select all", only the actual shapes on the page get
copied. Doesn't seem to be a way to copy the background as well.

Thanks.

Tried a "Save As..." to a graphic format and then Insert/Picture/FromFile
in Word?

That works fine, but it is a little more work. Would rather copy and paste.

How about cutting the image on the background page and pasting it into
the main page? You may need a "send to background". (Haven't tried it
myself as our copy of Visio is on a WinNT laptop that takes around six
months to boot up <g>).

Insert Object from file usually works. Otherwise, with the page you want to
copy open, make sure NOTHING is selected then do Edit>Copy Drawing, Paste.
