How to convert? - 7/28/2004 11:38:56 Hi All, I have a client who has given me a graphic done in "Visio" I have not heard of this program. He wants this graphic to be the "Splash Image" on his first page. Problem is I cant open the file and am not sure if it can be converted to something I can use. The file extenstions he sent me were: .vss & .vsd does anyone have experience with this program? My graphic artist friend has not heard of it either, Thanks for your time, Rita _____________________________ http://www.artisticwebdesigner.com

Can you zip the files and post them somewhere for download and I'll have a look? <edit>Or just email them to me</edit> _____________________________ Who was the first guy that looked at a cow and said, "I think that I'll drink whatever comes out of those things when I squeeze them"?

Then cut and paste it to your favorite image editor. I just did it a minute ago. _____________________________ Split Testing Chicago Order Fulfillment Emergency Kits (in reply to bobby)

Dumb question - how do I import it into MS Word to open it? Sorry probably a dumb question, Mike, I did post the files at: http://www.artisticwebdesigner.com/drawing3.vsd http://www.artisticwebdesigner.com/drawing3.vss Thanks so much both of you for your help!!

I've never "imported" anything in Word... but you may be able to open the file and convert it on-the-fly _____________________________ If con is the opposite of pro, is Congress the opposite of progress?

Mojo Posts: 2431 From: Chicago Status: offline	RE: Visio File? How to convert? - 8/2/2004 15:05:39 Hmm... I think it only worked because I have Visio installed on my computer. I could not do the same on my wifes computer. Try using MS Vision Viewer: http://download.microsoft.com/download/4/5/2/452f8090-413f-408f-83c0-edd66db786ee/vviewer.exe Once you open it in IE, maybe you can copy and paste it into Word. Anyhow - I went ahead and changed your .vsd file into a .tif file and emailed it to info@artisticwebdesigner.com. _____________________________ Split Testing Chicago Order Fulfillment Emergency Kits (in reply to bobby)

I did not recieve it? I have been having trouble with my email lately that may be why. You can send it to haroula101@aol that may work better. Again, thanks so much for your time it is greatly appreciated! Rita _____________________________ http://www.artisticwebdesigner.com (in reply to ritachick)
