For nicer results, export as PNG if Jarte supports it. For even nicer support, you can export as WMF, though the size of WMFs have been known to be a little off in Word - nothing that couldn't be adjusted away, but no knowing what Jarte can do about it. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
