Import diagrams from a page

Rather than redrawing something a colleague already made, bring it in. The scan finds diagrams across the pages you can see.


#How to

From the insert dialog, choose to import from a page. Point at the page, review what was found, and pick the diagrams you want.

#What the scan finds

  • Capable diagrams on the page.

  • Diagrams from other vendors' macros, where the format is understood.

  • Attached diagram files such as .drawio and .vsdx.


#A few things that catch people out

  • You only see diagrams on pages you have permission to read.

  • A copy does not track the original. If the source changes, your copy will not.

  • Scanning a very large page tree takes time; narrow it to the page you mean.



Somebody has probably drawn it already.
