the uml graphics is in wrong appearance!
« on: November 15, 2011, 01:27:04 am »
Usually, I use clipboard copy/past UML graph to word. I found a very troublesome problem.
It can be reappear in following steps.
1. Open the sample project which is brought by EA installation.
2. Open arbitrary UML graphics, and copy all elements, items to clipboard.
3. Start MS-Word(My version is 2010), and create a new document, then, paste the UML graphics to WORD, which is in clipboard.
4. Save the document as a html document.
5. Open the html document with MS-Internet Explorer.
Then, you will found, all the text in the IE looks in wrong effects. It's look like to be bolded and indistinct.
It is make me so trouble. dear administer, do you have some good ideal?
thank you!

Just create a HTML report with the 'diagram only' template instead of this "I trust microsoft" roundabout adventure ...

Or if you just want the diagram image export it via Diagram/Save as image...

thanks everyone in upstairs.  :'(

I found when I copy some graph to clipboard. The data type is enhanced metadata which is in the clipboard. I think it is some kinds of vector image, and word will do something special with it.
I guess it is the root of the bug.

Is there any option in EA which controls clipboard type? May I control the clipboard? sometimes user just want a sample figure. It is too inconvenient to convert EA UML graph to a sample image in manual way. I have tried use screen-capture tool, but I found I will get a distortion result in most time.
