    Hi-
    Problem: when I insert a Visio drawing in MS Office Word 2007, it looks fine, and prints well, but when I use Word to export the Word .doc as HTML(Filtered) the .gif drawings that Word generates (or, more likely, has Visio generate) have poor resolution - jagged lines, and pixellated text. 
    My workaround is to use Visio to manually export each drawing as a .gif file with 600x600 dpi resolution, which looks good in a web page, but this wastes time. 
    Does anyone know how to get Word 2007 to get Visio to produce high resolution .gif files when Word 2007 exports a .doc file as HTML?
    Thanks.

If you're passing a metafile format to word for import (either as wmf or visio object) then the translation to gif is a word process and not visio.
