Jenn,
The red X-marks usually occur when you cut-and-paste your diagrams into
the document instead of using Word's Insert|Picture command.
Unfortunately, the only workaround (that I know of) is to delete the
X-marks and place the diagrams back into the document using the
Insert|Picture command.
HTH!

Subject: Red X-marks in Word
Hi everyone,
I was just wondering if anyone has encountered problems with red X-marks
showing up in place of diagrams (generally cdr diagrams) in Word (or any
other
Microsoft Office) documents?
If so, I'd love to hear how you overcame this problem.
Thanks,
Jenn
