Latest & greatest utility for Acad to Word?
(OP)
Hello all.
Any good bets on how to use Acad graphics in Word docs?
Forget about OLE (thin lines) and wmf also require a complete reconfiguration of my source Acad drawing (make everything black, change all text to arial, etc. ).
I still get some really thin lines once I'm in Word. And exporting to bmp - awful.
Ideally, I wouldn't have to change my Acad file before the export - just export and get good, legible black lines & readable text / dims.
Any suggestions?

I've tried choosing the PublishToWebJPG.pc3 plotter with a 4000 x 3200 size.
I'm running a pentium 3 2.4 GHz, with a 32 MB graphics card and approx 765 MB RAM.
Using Win XP Home.
thanks,

Then paste into the Word document. I got better results than BetterWMF! Crisp lines, clear graphics.

PublishToWeb DWF.pc3 is one of the available plotters in my very typical AutoCAD 2000i installation. Maybe that's because of the "i" after "2000". Anyway, it must be available on the web if it's just a pc3 file, I guess.
Cheers,

Word is a hugely powerful sheet-formatting program. Explore plotting from Word to your 24x36/36x48 full-color plotter. If you've formatted your slide correctly, you'll be pleased with the results! Also, if you haven't yet, try rendering an image of your 3D-model and using saveimg to a TIF file, and pasting that into a WORD document, and enlarging that to full-size on your full-color plotter! Word is extreemely useful (especially the way it handles re-sizing ttf fonts), and makes a great front-end for formatting pages to be printed into PDF format, too!
Good luck!
