Pretty much the above. I have a complex document structure designed in lucid chart and now want to export the collobarative solution as a TOC straight into Word. How is this done please?

Hi Alex 

Thanks for posting in the Community! Unfortunately it's currently not possible to export your Lucidchart document to Word format – Lucidchart allows you to download your documents as PDF PNG JPEG SVG and VDX (Visio) files and CSVs of shape data. To learn more about those options please take a look at our Export or Print a Lucid Document article from the Lucidchart Help Center. 

As a workaround I would recommend inserting your the TOC you built in Lucidchart into a Word document using our add-in for Word. For more information about this review our Microsoft Add-ins article

Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions. 


Thanks for your reply. THe Word add in simply replacing a cut a paste action as far as I can see and leaves me with and image... not editable text as I desire. A workaround that seems to get a closer is to export into pdf and then copy and paste from PDF. A better integration would be preferable but I guess my use of LucidChart for developing a document structure isn't a common use. But it should be aas it works really well. Please develop the capability to export as a TOC. :)


Hi Alex 

You are right! Exporting the document to PDF JPEG or PNG and then inserting the resulting file into Word as an image would also be a great workaround. Thanks for sharing this!
