I get blue prints as JPG PNG BMP but no matter how good the quality of the picture, after it is inserted into Visio none of the words can be read. I even used a 600 dpi 36"X24" crystal clean blueprint and it still looked blurry or pixilated in Visio. What's the deal with this $300 software? I can open up the bmp png jpg in previewer and it looks great zoomed in by the way.

Hi Dragonlvec,
Thanks for reporting this issue.
We are aware of this issue and are actively working to fix it.
Thanks,
MS DEV
Mathtype inserted into a Visio 2013 document as an object is almost 100% completely useless. It's been a long time and it still hasn't been fixed. It's been approx 7 months since your comment, yet nothing has improved. Any idea as when a fix will be available?
I've used Mathtype & Visio for the last 10-15 years, and no problems until now (new computer with Windows 8.1, Visio 2013, latest Mathtype etc... ).
This issue in not just with MS Word. My particular problem is all inserted equations are blurred badly, and I must go into each object and update the link to get it to appear normal. The objects will re-blur if I switch pages or re-open the file. I've got up to 20 objects on a page, and maybe hundreds, if not thousands of pages.
Granted, this strongly appears to be a Microsoft issue, but unfortuately this makes Mathtype inoperable. With such a pathetic state of affairs, I'm hoping MathType will strongly encourage Microsoft to fix this issue.
Oh, and don't get me started with Visio's TrueType only fonts. I've untold number of files made completely useless because they font substitute...
Anyway, sorry for the venting (and it's not your fault), but after waiting approx 7 months, the latest upgrades didn't fix the problem. :-(

Hello Microsoft?! Are really working on it?????
Crazy, I step down to Visio 2010 and evrything is ok, I do the same with Visio 2013, the image is blurry!
Don't hold your breath waiting for a fix. It may or may not come, but not likely in the near future. My guess that the root cause is something fundamental that will be difficult to change or fix.
I don't know specifically about Visio, but I do know that MS changed the "drawing engine" that controls the display of MS Word 2013. It has caused various issues. I wonder if they used the same drawing engine in Visio 2013.
Take a look at this discussion. There is a suggested work around for a roughly similar issue that may work for you too:
Why does Microsoft have to be so silent on this issue?
