converting visio 2010 to powerpoint 2010 - formatting issues

I've created a relatively complex network drawing. However, I'm now being asked to provide a power point slide, and everything I've tried has consistently either skewed the drawings so it's unreadable, or fallen out of acceptable dimension within the slide. I'm afraid I'll have to recreate and it's due Tuesday morning. I'd love a quick solution. Perhaps something that converts the vss files to pictures, that can then be moved around within PowerPoint.

So far, I've saved as a BMP image which needed to encompass the entire slide to work, and I'm working within a landscape formatted header and footer on the slide, and EMF, which allowed me to ungroup the imagery, but the data was pixelated and I wasn't able to drag (for example) a colored box with text in it. I would need to grab the box, then the color, and then try to recreate the text within.

Hope this makes sense

Thank you!

Your suggestion for Insert | Object and then tick the "create from file", was a homerun! Thank you!

Jamie, Scott

These are great suggestions and I'm saving this thread for future reference.

Cheers
Yay! Glad to hear what worked.

You know, there is one caveat with that Insert | Object thing. In order to edit, you must have Visio installed. I imagine many of the folks you'd send this slide to won't be able to edit the diagram. That could be both good and bad, of course!
