Using PowerPoint 2007 Clip Art and Images in Visio 2007

If you work a lot in PowerPoint 2007, you might find that you can’t live without a particular PowerPoint 2007 shape or clip art graphic. You can copy PowerPoint 2007 clip art and shapes and then paste them onto the Visio 2007 drawing page. If the pasted object doesn’t behave as you expect, it might have been converted to a different type of object. For example, PowerPoint 2007 titles and bullet points are pasted into Visio 2007 as pictures (in metafile format), not as text.

Note

When you paste shapes on a slide for animation, they become embedded objects that you can edit—even after you’ve animated them. Just double-click the shape or section to open a Visio 2007 window for editing.
