Why convert VSD to DOCX?
VSD holds vector diagram pages with shapes, connectors and stencils; DOCX holds text paragraphs and embedded objects with no semantic mapping between them. The typical use case is documentation: inserting a network diagram, flowchart or floor plan from a legacy Visio file into a report or specification for Word users.

- No tool converts VSD diagram elements into editable Word paragraphs or shapes; the diagram is always a static inserted image or embedded object.
- LibreOffice Draw reads VSD via its libvisio library; complex stencils or custom shapes may look slightly different from the original Visio rendering.
- For multi-page VSD files, export each page separately and insert each image into the appropriate location in the Word document.
