Default Connector lines: Straight-cartesian inside Word

I'm using Visio 2000 and Word 2000. I have a Visio diagram using
dynamic-glue connectors, center-to-center (they show as striaght lines
between oval nodes). I paste it into Word as a Visio object. I
thought it was fantastic that I could drill down into the diagram
within word and nudge some ovals. But whenever I do, all the straight
lines become cartesian, and the nodes get moved around so that the
diagram is unrecognizable. Even though some of the Visio toolbar
widgets are available when I drilled down into the drawing within
Word, there is no "Layout and Routing" tab under File-Page_Setup for
me to diddle around with. I did try selecting nothing, then going to
Tools-Layout_Shapes and replicating the settings in the original
Visio file e.g. Connectors Style is Center-to-Center. As soon as I do
this, I get the same unrecognizable result.

Anyone familiar with the pitfalls, shortcomings, and workarounds (or
lack thereof) of directly editing the Visio diagram within Word in the
2000 suite?
