ms word compatibility

libreCAD-er
I am just looking at this program for help in designing low volume electronic panels.

I have had good success in MS Word with its simple ability to put borders & boxes around various functions & use colours etc. But, I now need to create circular dials of varying sizes around controls etc. & paste them to my existing drawings. Once I am happy with a design I then print them on suitable coloured paper & matt laminate them with quite professional results.

I am not interested in sophisticated CAD programs & don't have the time to learn a lot of complicated routines.

Is this program compatible with MS Word or can anyone point me to a program which can do this ?

Thanks.

It is not possible to copy and paste into an other program from LibreCAD.
To keep best quality you could export to pdf and insert that in MS Word, if it can do that.
Quick and dirty would be to use screenshots.
If Word has the option to import dxf (LibreOffice has it) you can try that. But some properties and elements probably will be lost.
