Hi,

Assuming you're using Windows 95, you can always make a screenshot of your ER-model (using ALT-PRINTScrn). This copies an bitmap image of what was displayed at the time you pressed the key-combination. You then can paste the image from the clipboard inside your Word document. Use an image editor (like Paint Shop Pro, wich is shareware) to take away any unwanted stuff like menu bars etc. I believe MS Office has it's own Image editor. You'll have to try...

Good Luck,

Sicco Otten
