You can import a Visio drawing as a linked _object_, using Windows' OLE2 capability. I've done it without problems when I just had one or two Visio drawings in a book. But I'd be reluctant to rely on OLE for lots and lots of graphics. There's a huge amount of complexity and overhead for an OLE object (to make in-place editing possible). And of course, OLE is Windows-only, and anyone you share the FM files with must also have Visio, so your FM files aren't very portable anymore. Richard ------ Richard G.
