Thanks :))

+ OLE object
+ WMFOUT your objects in AutoCAD - import this into Word as a 'picture'
+ "Plot" your drawing to a raster format like PNG - import this into Word as a 'picture' |

I don't understand your post... OLE, WMFOUT? No clue what this means. Ty

OLE = Object Linking and Embedding. A standard method of sharing data between windows applications.
WMFOUT = AutoCAD command to export drawing entities as a WMF (Windows Metafile Format) file. Check it out in the AutoCAD help file.
All of this is covered in the AutoCAD User's Guide under "Sharing Drawing Data" |

Use the WMFOUT command. This exports your drawing into a vector format WMF
file (which let you scale it up in MS word without looking blocky). Also,
before exporting into a WMF file, set the WMFBKGND variable so the screen
background color does not carry over.
