Thanks for answering me so soon. But I was wandering to know if the EA could do it for it self. May be insterting conectors or something. Is that possible?.

I have made a diagram that is to long. So, when I generate the documentation the picture is to small and is very unusefull.

You may also want to consider splitting the diagram up logically, perhaps into one high-level overview diagram and then sectional close-up diagram views.  (Odd are, if it's such that it cannot be rendered clearly on one page, then it's likely that there's a lot for a human to absorb in that one diagram, as well.)

Whether that's a viable option will depend on your circumstances, of course...

BTW there is no posibility to delete a Style defined in a Template or at least I didn't found it.

Same here.  This seems like a major (and rather frustrating) oversight in the RTF Template interface...

There's an interesting podcast: [size=13]OpenDocument and the Move to XML Formats[/size].

[size=10]"Customers are now implementing solutions based upon the OASIS OpenDocument Format (ODF) and Microsoft's OpenXML standard, endorsed by ECMA, but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Billions of word processing and spreadsheet files are being converted to XML in one of these two formats. OpenDocument expert Gary Edwards believes that adopting OpenXML means lock-in to Microsoft products on an unprecedented scale. In this podcast, Edwards defends OpenDocument's capabilities but also challenges the ODF community to out-innovate Microsoft to provide a competitive alternative to Microsoft's lock-in. He also challenges the open standards community to focus on delivering alternatives to Microsoft Exchange and SharePoint servers. Edwards also describes Open Document Foundation's da Vinci plug-ins for Microsoft Office."[/size]

It's long (about 1.25 hours) but I found it very interesting.  In it Gary mentions MS are dropping RTF as of Office 2008.

Enjoy...
