Slightly off topic - inserting WF graphic into Word Doco

[Lyal Schumann, RMC UK Ltd]

Bah Humbug, Mark! It's never going to happen, you crazy dreamer, you!

The best I have managed to do is save it to a file and then use GhostScript
(or other postscript viewer) to copy it and paste it into Word. It's a
horrible process, and the results are far from pretty. Especially for a
large workflow that has been broken into lots of pages.

Ideally, I would love to see MicroSoft develop some sort of import mechanism
from Workflow to Visio. Dream, dream, dream...

G'day all,

I'll admit upfront this is slightly off topic, but not really...

I've always desired to get the WF builder graphic as a PC image file (BMP, 
JPG, TIFF whatever) so it can be included into documentation. The printing 
of the graphic works beautifully, esp on a nice colour laser printer, but 
I'd really like to get it as an image in the overall technical and even end 
user Word documentation.

There are standard options to output to clipboard or as an image file, but 
in my experience neither of these work properly or at all.

My question is then, has anyone managed to get these options to work such 
that they give an image in full colour with all icons and outcome names?

My alternate (and possibly better asked to a PC nerd group rather than a WF 
nerd one) question is is there a good (ideally free) solution for setting up

a printer definition which will convert the output to an image file. I've 
tried at various sites with various printers to configure the 'Print to 
File' option, but like the options in the builder the outcome is either 
non-existent or very lacking in detail.

Does anyone have a treat up their sleeve? An early Christmas present for me 
maybe??

Have fun,
Mark
