Perhaps you'd have better luck exporting the graphic and inserting it as a
picture. See http://www.gmayor.com/extract_images_from_word.htm

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for the link. I've read the article, and tried doing what it
suggests, but have had no success. It didn't matter if the page was
linked,
or not, the drawing object was added to the document as a total mess.

I am trying to bring a page with a drawing object on it into another
document. There is no standard typed text on the page. The page consists
of
only the drawing object - text boxes and lines. I tried bringing in the
page
with the drawing grouped and ungrouped, but the same thing happens each
time.
I can get it to go in, but the text boxes get messed up - spacing and font
are different than the actual drawing object, and the lines end up out of
place, too. Resizing, repositioning, and reformatting the boxes seems
like a
lot of work. Almost as much as just creating from scratch again.

I've tried to copy and paste the object, but I don't get the usual smart
tag
after pasting that would give me a choice to match the source formatting.

Do you know if there is any way to insert a drawing object into a new
document, as it was originally designed? I know this was very time
consuming
to create - it would be a shame not to be able to reuse it, as needed.

Thanks, again, for helping me out with this one.

Hi -
Is it possible to insert only one, or two, pages from a document into a
new
document?

Scenario is this: I have a user who has two drawings he created in one
document. They were very time consuming, so instead of recreating them
every
time, he wants to be able to insert those drawings into new documents,
as
needed. Sometimes he may need both, other times, just one of them.

I've tried saving the drawing as a quick part, hoping that would be a
fix,
but the drawing does not insert as it was created. Text box spacing
changes,
lines are all off, font is wrong...

I've tried all the paste special options, but they behave similarly to
the
Quick Part.

I've tried saving the doc with the drawings as a PDF, but only one page
inserts, it's smaller than the original drawing, and it is not as clear
as
the original drawing, even after resizing.

Besides that, he may want to edit the drawing in the new document.

Is a template the only solution? He may not realize he's going to use
the
drawing until he is well into a new document.

We are using Word 2007.

Any suggestions? Thank you!
