ConceptDraw Community

Hi – I'm trialling the program. I have a Word doc with a diagram in it which I know to be Visio editable. How do I get it into ConceptDraw? Many thanks.

You can copy& paste it to ConceptDraw VI.

Many thanks – I opened a blank document and pasted the flow diagram in (shapes with words in them). Now what – I can't seem to get to the words, which I need to translate! Sorry to be a nuisance. W

select pasted object-> menu Shape-> Convert-> Metafile to group
Then click ctrl+E (it opens group menu) choose the text and edit it. Then just close the group window.

Er... the menu option said "to vector picture" or "Pict to Group" – the latter option crashed the program... I'm on Mac OS 10.4.8.
