Move a diagram from Excel to Visio?
I have Visio 2003 and Excel 2003. I received a spreadsheet that has a large
Visio-like diagram on it. Can I somehow get that diagram into a complex Visio file I am working on? Export from Excel? Import into Visio? Use some file type they have in common? TIA, Paul |

depends on what the embedded drawing was inserted into the excel spreadsheet
as. If it was embedded as some form of bitmap image you can insert into visio but not edit. If it was embedded as some form of vector drawing then the answer becomes a very big "depends". al "Paul H" wrote in message ... I have Visio 2003 and Excel 2003.

Al,
It was created using the drawing tool in Excel - put shapes and arrows and connectors where you want them. Very much like Visio works.
