Dan:

No, this drawing was not done with an automatic flowchart feature. These are
all hand-drawn objects. At the end, I grouped everything into one piece.

I have looked for a way to Export as an EPS or TIFF, but there seems to be
no way to Export. You can only save as a Picture, PDF, or as a MSWord
document (.doc or .docx). Nothing seems to work (see blow all of the things
I¹ve tried!)

Thanks for any help anyone can give!

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.

I don't know what's "proper" and don't know what level of quality you need in the second Word document. But if it's just to give a view of the chart, one option could be to take a screen shot of it, then insert the screen shot into the second Word document.

Howdy.

Guy, see if you can get your flow chart onto one single page in a
single page Word file.

Then choose File > Print > PDF and pick Save as Postscript.

Send to Desktop.

The result should be a file with the dot extension of .ps.

I just did this was was able to open the file in GraphicConverter. GC
can resize the file.

No, don't want 11, unless hogtied.

27" iMac, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 12gig RAM, OSX10.8.4, 1 TBHD

I minimize iTunes10 to the mini menu on screen w music files playing in background. The music media is about 16GB. I'm not running any visualization plugins. I am running everything from the main OSX10.8.4 hard drive.

Maybe an hour into playing music, appx, maybe much longer, iTunes begins requiring 97% on my CPU, Activity Monitor Window verified. I can't predict when it happens, but everything on the iMac slows to a crawl except the music being played. Only solution so far is to quit and restart iTunes, which is a hassle but it solves the issue for an hour to several hours.

I researched in Google and saw issues with "Gapless Playback", so I selected all music files in iTunes and changed: Select all music files/Apple+I/Options/Gapless Album to NO.

Weird but iTunes is still playing Gapless, but the option remains OFF.

But I'm still getting the CPU slows occasionally so I wondered if anyone here is experiencing a massive CPU hit on occasions in iTunes?

I just got OS x.6.3 in mail from Aoole. Call the 800 # for the store.
