Hi,
I am using AutoCAD 2014. Quite often, I create have something drawn in AutoCAD that I would like to copy into Microsoft Word as a diagram. I have done this using Copy/Paste and I can do this by exporting a .wmf file and importing the .wmf file into Word. Both of these methods work, but in Word, the "box" that is inserted that contains my diagram is always alot larger than my actual diagram that I want to include - there is alot of whitespace around the edges. MS Word doesn't seem to give me the option to crop the edges off this box, so my small diagram ends up taking much more space than it should have to. I can scale the "box", but everthing scales equally so however much I shrink the box, my content shrinks by the same percentage, making it too small to read.
I suppose I could export a bitmap and then use an art program (like MS Paint) to crop the bitmap before importing into Word, but it seems like I should be able to do what I want without using a third application.
Can anyone tell me the best way to do a quick copy of autocad content into Word. I do not require (and do not want) the content to maintain any link to AutoCAD. I just want it to be an image inside word that is just the size of the content, without including any whitespace around the edges.
Thanks in advance,
Paul
