Just for clarity. The OP was asking about using Visio, creating a drawing, then opening that within OpenOffice (OOo) for further editing. Saving a drawing, from within Visio, as a .dxf or .dxg will produce nothing that can be used within draw or any other OOo component. >From a quick look - I can't see anything within Visio that would allow a drawing to be used within OOo. /paul -- Processing Key for cracking HD DVD's: 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0 ----- Try Torpark; a small portable, open-source, built on Firefox browser that enables anonymous browsing.
