What is the best way to import flow charts from Visio (.vsd) into FrameMaker?
I'm getting some pretty fuzzy results. I am working in Frame 7.2. Would
appreciate any tips.
Thanks!

Hello,
The particulars are different, but I did this with VirtualPC many
years ago. I had two images, one sort of a testing machine, that
shared a common drive for my applications. It was not all that bad to
set up, and saved me a lot of very valuable drive space on my little
G4 PowerBook.

Hi Barbara:
I'm turning the Visio files into PDFs and importing them by reference
into FrameMaker 7.2 files. I can see them clearly in FrameMaker and they
display well when I print the FrameMaker book as a PDF or as HTML
(converted using Mif2Go).
Since my Distiller is automatically set to use
I save .vsd to .svg and import into Frame by reference. Works fine for my docs.

I'd second Fred's recommendation for converting Visio files to PDFs for
print, but for HTML final output, I usually just go directly to PNGs, as
Gillian does.

It doesn't matter as long as it works. But if it stops working, it

With all due respect, I would only depend on Adobe Technical Support as a

HTML. In Word, it creates a folder of images. I haven't tried it in PPT
but I bet it would work the same way. Doesn't help you much with the text
though.
