Office integration (MS-Office, OpenOffice/LibreOffice)

Question

Please program a Office Integration so that a yED drawing can be embedded as an object in an Office ducument (MS-Office, OpenOffice/LibreOffice).

Answer 1

I have had satisfactory results by saving diagrams to svg (with yEd 3.16.x) and then opening them in Windows 7 with Internet Explorer.

The shown image can be copied with a right-click and then pasted onto a Word document; in my opinion, the resulting picture quality is better than using any bitmap format.

By the way, congrats on yEd. Thanks. Excellent program.

Comments

On a recent use (today), I verified I can still paste the image in Powerpoint (had to "save image" in IE), but not in Word.
Other graphical applications might help, I don't know, but I'm restricted to Office included ones at work.

You do not need to export to SVG then open in IE to "save image" - yEd has "save image" built-in! E.g. to save your diagram as PNG image, use "File" -> "Export", then set "Files of Type" to "PNG Format" in the export file chooser. All raster images produced by yEd (i.e. bmp, gif, jpg, png) can be imported into Word.
