Import/Export Formats

Object (Excel, Word, ACAD, etc) Embedded Large File size Allows modification within Visio

BMP (Bitmap Picture) Smaller May be manipulated with Paint or PSP Fuzzy

EMZ (Enhanced Metafile) Very lightweight Crisp & clear Very Fast May be “ungrouped”

JDS 01/2004 19

Import/Export Tips

Avoid object or paste link Excel size limits Import ACAD as view not modify Insert from File vs Copy/Paste Save as Metafile if static Save as BMP if must modify
