how to paste omnigraffle graphics into msoffice apps?
Authored by: davidduff on Jun 14, '04 02:03:50AM

anyone have any clever methods for pasting omnigraffle graphics into msoffice apps which preserves full precision of vector graphics?

i've tried exporting as pdf and then importing the pdf into word, but if i then want to generate a pdf from word, i find that the omnigraffle figures have been rasterized.

i gather that omnigraffle uses the modern os x graphics package (quartz?) while office only supports the old quickdraw-type, graphics (windows formats like wmf)

suggestions?

You made the right assumptions I guess. I create pdf's with vector graphics from Omnigraffle and then use GraphicConverter to change them to WMF. Then I insert those into Office 2004. This yields a better result than putting vectorized pdf's in office when exchanging documents with pc users and when creating pdf's.
