Diagram to Image

Hello

I have created a Database Diagram for the tables I have in the database and set the relationships of the tables with the fields.

Now I want to export this diagram to the Image format (jpeg, gif or any other one), so i can
add this image in my documentation (ms-word-xp doc) of the project..

I have looked into the options, but i did'nt find any way to export it. So i thought something went wrong while installation, but was made sure that was fine.

Please let me know what is the way to export that diagram to image. (its a exigency)

hope to your all valuable response as soon.

thanks, (in advance) and for your time.Right-click in your diagram, and copy it to the clipboard. You can then paste it into your doc.|||before you give any suggestions, please make sure that your words holds true.

copying diagram from SQL EM to office xp is not supported.

Anyway, thanks for investing your precious time in your one line.|||

try copying into MSPaint, and then using that image in your Doc.

BTW, the copy to clipboard method works fine in Office 2003, for anyone wondering.

|||Andrew Badera, thanks for your time again.

Just give a try of copying from SQL EM to MSPaint, IT IS NOT SUPPORTED.
I dont know how you have checked.

and thanks for suggestion on telling me try OFFICE 2003 (which I am not going to do).
For this simple thing, I cant change the office version i am using, which is really a waste of time.

Anyway, my problem solved long before.

sorry, should have been more specific I guess: get a screen capture. copy that into mspaint.

I realize this may not help the original poster, but for those that run across this thread by chance ...

My work around is to print to the Microsoft Office Document Image Writer. The file can be saved as either .mdi or .tiff.

I work remotely and cannot connect to my remote development environment with my printer (never figured that one out) ... anyway, because of this, I am not able to print my diagrams directly from EM. After printing to the Image Writer, I simply move the file to my local machine, where it will automatically open in Microsoft Office Document Imaging. From there I can print it to my local printer.

Of course, this option depends on whether or not Microsoft Office Document Image Writer is available on your system. I work with Windows XP and Windows Server 2003, and can confirm that the Document Image Writer is available.

Thanks
