Howdy.
Guy, is the flowchart done with drawing tools only? Or, I need help
here remembering the available tools in Word 2008, did you do it with a
flowchart feature that does some things automatically like keep lines
connected to boxes in a flow chart?
Until I can figure that part out, I'm not much help!
However, you could see if you could save the flowchart as a separate
graphic image and export it as a JPEG or TIFF or even an EPS file, if
possible.
In particular, if it can be turned into an EPS file, a different
program like Photoshop should be able to correctly resize the image to
a smaller size and you could then import that smaller image into the
other Word file.
