Import GraphViz graph to Microsoft Word 14

Question

I have created a GraphViz dot-file to visualize a data flow. I have to write a documentation using Microsoft Word and I'd like to include the graph in the document.

For some wired reason, MS Word is not able to import SVG files. Then, I generated a .eps file using

dot -Teps plan.dot -o plan.eps But once imported into Word, the picture looks horrible. I also tried to convert the svg to wmf using Inkscape. It also looked horrible.

Is there a clean way to generate a file using GraphViz that Word can read?

Answer 1

Exporting as .jpg or .png and both worked here with a simple example, as does .pdf, but that does not render well if you open the .docx using Windows Word (e.g. 2010). None of the individual objects (shapes/text) are editable, though.
