RE: Using Visio .vsd files in FrameMaker 6.0

[Mike Tatro <tatro@xxxxxxx>]

Patricia-

I tried a bunch of the intermediate file formats and found that the Windows
Metafile Format (.wmf files) seems to work the best. Viso doesn't really
export raster (GIF and JPGs) all that well. It can, but there are a ton of
output preferences that need to be set just right to pull it off. In my
experience, it's far better to use a vector format (e.g., WMF) that FM can
understand.

Your mileage may vary.
