I copy the drawing inside AutoCAD and paste it into Word. DONE! Looks Great!
But each time i clikck on this vector drawing inside Word it starts up AutoCAD - this takes 20 seconds - its a background process.
(single click - yes I know double ckick will open the vector darawing in AutoCad for editing)
This makes my creation of the product manual that I am working on Extermely slow.
EPS - i do not use it because it only supports 5 colors.
WMF - i like it - simple and fast but it doesnt support gradients...
What can one do?
Would the PNGOUT command in AutoCAD work for you? It's not a vector format, but it's not lossy like .jpg and it supports gradients.
What about PDF? PDF can be either raster or vector based. Otherwise, I can't think of any other options for you. Sorry.
You might also try *.dwf format.
Hi zzz144
I use the snipping tool from Microsoft to insert a copy in MS word. with it MSWord things that it is a picture and does not open Autocad everytime your cursor gets near the picture.
good luck

I use this tool http://anydwg.com/dwg2img/ to batch export DWG to vector WMF/EMF, you can import/edit the vector WMF/EMF file in Word.
