I'd say postscript or PDF. You print to file using a printer such as "Generic Postscript" to generate a postscript file from the diagrams. You can then use Insert->Graphics to import the PS file. You will probably have to use Clipping option in that dialog box to remove all the added white space around the diagram. Open Office can convert documents to PDF. You could also try opening the diagrams in Open Office and exporting them to PDF. Either way you "should" get the same quality you'd get if you printed the diagram straight from word. -- John C.
