Experts,

I have a need to insert a visio document into a word document programmatically what is the easiest way to do this?

A snippet of my code is as follows:

#Create word Instance
$merged_Object = ""|TitleHeadingBar
$Merged_Object.TitleheadingBar = "Test"
$Word = New-Object -ComObject Word.Application
#Make Word Visible
$Word.Visible = $True
#Create Blank Document
$Document = $Word.Documents.Add()
#Create Selection object
$Selection = $Word.Selection

#Alignment Options:
$Alignment = ""|Select Center,Left,Right
$Alignment.Center = "1"
$Alignment.Left = "0"
$Alignment.Right = "2"

#Create Content
$Selection.ParagraphFormat.Alignment = "$($Alignment.Center)"
$Selection.Font.Bold = 1
$Selection.Font.Italic = 1
$Selection.Font.Underline = 1
$selection.TypeText("$($Merged_Object.TitleHeadingBar))")

Select all Open in new window

I Thought I might be able to do the following, but it fails with

$selection.InsertFile("C:\worddoc\wordmerge\Drawingvsdx.vsdx")

Select all Open in new window

Word has encountered a problem.
At line:1 char:1
+ $selection.InsertFile("C:\worddoc\wordmerge\Drawingvsdx.vsdx")
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cleanse all exiting shape data
I have created a Visio that uses external data and now want to reuse this with some adaption to new data i will be importing. Does anyone have code that would remove all shape data from all shapes within the document. It has thousand of shapes so doing by hand is not a viable option

Thanks in advance

please advise

I had this question after viewing Replacing text in PowerPoint 2016 using VBA.

Is it possible that I can insert a custom textbox in slide theme and it gets updated in actual slides ?
Here what I am trying to do in power point VBA which I have done successfully in Visio VBA.

I want to put the presentation file name on all slides of a presentation.  I have 50+ such presentations containing 25+ slides in each presentation.  The above code requires that I insert a text box on each of the slide manually and then it works if I run the macro.  Any suggestion how to automate the process using Powerpoint VBA ?

I do not want to change the slides theme for each presentation by inserting a text box with file name.  That would defeat the purpose of automation. Visio VBA does it very easily by using code in Auotexec module for each slidepack.

Hello Experts,

I have a legitimate product key for Microsoft Visio. Can someone let me know where I can find the link to download Microsoft Visio 2016?

Thanks

I have rich text in MS Visio shapes, that I wish to display, fully formatted, in Excel cells, through vba automation.
When I copy-paste the visio shape.text directly into an Excel cell, all formatting is lost, even bold, underline and superscript etc.
However, if I first copy the visio.shp.text into WORD, then, when I copy the text from WORD to Excel, the original 'visio' formating is preserved in both WORD and in EXCEL.
In this additional step, WordPAD is ineffective as a substitute for WORD (ie formatted text copied from WordPAD does not preserve formatting when the text is copied to Excel.)

I seek an automated solution (vba).
But an automated solution that takes Text from visio via WORD and through to Excel seems cumbersome. Is there an automated solution, and can I avoid the WORD step?

LATERALLY - I can convert visio.shape.text into an HTML string...  
Can you tell me how I could display that HTML string (derived from Visio) as RICH TEXT in Excel?

Thanks!

Hi Experts,

I am looking for Visio stencils for cisco transceivers/SFP like QSFP-40G-SR-BD,SFP-H10GB-CU3M,1000base-SX,SFP-H10GB-ACU10M.

Does anyone know where to get these.

Thanks,

I did draw a network digram using a link to draw Visio diagram of vsphere using Powershell. It looks ok on the screen , but it was so small when i printed the drawing, the drawing only fit into 3X3  inches area instead of fitting into A4 paper. I tried to follow the link below, but all the drawing are going outside the grid area(- 4 "ruler area).

Experts out there is there any way to fix the size without re-drawing it?

How do I run Microsoft Visio online Plan 1?

Another day, another question. I'm enjoying this but it is very challenging! I guess thats why this website is here?!

I'm using DOCMD(1312) to get my users to enter data and then have some of this data appear in the shape's text field. Each time they double click they also have the option to "define shape data" but I would really like to prevent the user from doing this.

An option for "protect defined shape data" or "protect user from defining shape data" would be perfect. Any ideas??

Thanks in advance.
