The table below shows the resulting file sizes after a fairly large graphic image was pasted into an empty Word document using various procedures. Going through the clipboard creates the largest files by far. They are also the highest quality. But that quality is not needed for most situations.
Is there a way to control the resulting file size going directly through the clipboard?
Is there a simple way to go directly from Visio to Word and control the image size?

there used to be circa visio 2003
Somewhere around office 2007/2010...solution blew up even with visio 2003.

At least that is my experience
