Dan Goldstein wondered: <<Does anyone have a method for converting a Visio file into a file (.txt, .doc, etc.) that contains all of the text used in the drawing?>>

Not using Visio, but if it has a "save for Web" or "save as HTML" feature, there's a decent chance that will extract the text for you. You'll have to do some cleanup, but a search and destroy macro in Word will do the hard work of removing the HTML tags--or you can do it manually.
