Recommended Usage

I recommend that you begin by using one of the included Page Template files for developing your diagram. Some basic information is on the "Hints & Tips" page to help you get started.

I also recommend creating a new folder titled "RF Electronics Symbols for Office™" and then unzipping the files into it. For versions of Windows through Win10, the path will typically look like this:

C:\Documents and Settings\<your ID name>\My Documents\<RF Electronics Symbols for Office>\

RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols for Office™ r2 - RF Cafe

Use these "RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols for Office™" to generate professional looking system block diagrams and schematics in Microsoft Office™ programs Word™, Excel™, and Power Point™. They have been tested in versions 2007 and 2019. This product uses the *.DOCX (XML) file format which will work with MS Office™ 2007 and later.

All symbols were created by exporting the equivalent precision-built shapes in RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols for Visio™ in Enhanced Metafile (EMF) file format and then inserting them into the MS Word™ document. That is why they look nearly identical to the Visio symbols. The EMF format allows an image to be scaled up or down without becoming pixelated, so all the shapes can be resized in a document and still look good. The imported symbols can be UnGrouped into their original constituent parts for editing. Note that unlike the Visio versions (which can only be used in Visio), these were not built on a grid, so lines and vertices are not guaranteed to align exactly.

"RF & Electronics Schematic & Block Diagram Symbols for Office™" do not work well in MS Publisher™, OpenOffice™, or LibreOffice™ because they import as bitmapped images that do not re-size well.
