I must have used a thousand tips and tricks from other people. Here is one that I found myself. Funny it was right in front of me and I just never used it, many of you probably already are familiar with this command. It's the copy link command. Under the edit menu in A2k and up you will notice the command. What does it do you ask well it captures the display of a drawing in a OLE fashion. You can paste it into word or powerpoint, and when you update the drawing your drawing inside word will automatically be updated as well. Before this I would do a screencapture and paste it into my other program, crop the edges from unwanted scrollbars and menus, and if I had to make changes to the original drawing I would have to do it all over again. Hope this one helps someone else as much as it has helped me. Good luck
