From: Prof Wonmug on 17 Apr 2010 12:05 A Word 2007 document contains several graphics (flowcharts) that were created in Visio (2003), copied to the clipboard (Ctrl-C), and pasted into the Word document (Ctrl-V). I have been working on this document for some time as well as others like it. I usually view these documents in Print View because the graphics are not visible in Draft View (they display as empty white space or the light blue field if selected). Today, I happened to shift to Draft View and discovered that most, but not all, of the graphics were visible. In one case, the same graphic was in the document twice right next to each other. One was visible and oine was not. I did a little experimenting and discovered that the way it is pasted in makes a difference. If I use Alt+Ctrl+V to paste and select "Microsoft Visio Dreawing Object", it will be visible in both Print and Draft View. If I select any other option, it is only visible in Print View. I discovered another anomoly. If I paste the graphic twice, one right after the other, the first one will be visible in Draft View and the second one will not. Repeating this sequence, I copied the image from Visio, then used Alt+Ctrl+V to paste it into Word taking the default option "Microsoft Visio Dreawing Object". A second Alt+Ctrl+V shows only one option, "Device Independent Bitmap". Why do the paste options change?
