Export the smallest size to Word. Save in Word.

Step 2: Clearing Numbers on the Schematic

Double click the schematic.

It will open in another window.

Click the rectangle tool on the drawing tool bar.

Draw a small rectangle around the bottom width number on the schematic.

The rectangle will have a black line as a frame.

To remove the frame, right click the rectangle

	Once you have done this, right click the text box
	Click Format AutoShape

Continue in this manner until you have made all the changes you wish.

When you are finished, Click Close Picture in the Picture toolbox.

You are now back in your Word document. If your schematic doesn't look as sharp as it did, click on it and go to the bottom right corner. When the arrows appear, stretch it a little and it will be beautiful.
