importing sql2005 database diagram to word doc

Hi I have a large database diagram and am only displaying the table names and
relationships. When I copy the diagram to the clipboard and paste it to a
word doc the diagram is hard to read because the letering on each table
appears quite small. I tried changing the zoom within management studio
prior to the copy but it has no effect. Any ideas or is there a specific
method of exporting the image other than just copy to clipboard and paste?
thanks.

Software engineer.If you take a big diagram and squeeze it into a small space, I don't
know how to avoid the text getting small. I know that when I wanted
to print a diagram to a single page the approach I took was to expand
it to 200%, copy it, then past it into Irfanview and print from there.
I could also save it from there as a jpeg. I suppose you could try
that, and then see if placing the jpeg into the Word document works
any better, but I would not hold out much hope.

some space and was able to move the objects around (closer together) within
SQL Server Management Studio. Have not heard of Irfenview, might have to
check it out.!

Irfanview is a free utility for viewing image files, but it also has
some manipulation ability such as changing resolution. A great
utility, but nothing unique.

Importing data from web page into SQL Server table

Hi,
I have to find a way to do the following : a company provides for my company a web page displaying data separated with ;
I need to automatically update a table in SQLServer with this data, ie delete the old data, read the web page containing new data as text, and insert these data into the table.
I would actually prefer not to trigger this import process "by hand" ; if there's a solution to schedule it ...
Thanks for your help
JohannYes you can get the content of the page dynamically by using the server.execute then put the content in a text file and read the stream|||Thanks for your help
The problem is that the page containing the data is not mine. I have no control over it, and it's on another server.
All I have is the url to display that page in a browser. So, can I direct a script to that url and make my script read the content ?
Thanks
Johann|||does not matter if you haven't got this page in your server with the server.execute you can capture the html code then play with then pragmatically follow this link with some exampleshttp://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebhttpserverutilityclassexecutetopic.asp
