xfig misbehaving (so is fig2dev)



Ok, I've got a little problem here.  I created a diagram using xfig,
but this diagram needs to be shared with windows users and inserted
into an MS Word document.  I have no control over that.  I am familiar
with using fig2dev to convert the .fig to some other format (eg PNG)
for use in documents.

The problem is that fig2dev barfs on the .fig file once I include the
library figure "State_Medium" (from the "UML" set) in the figure.  It
isn't essential to have that library object in the diagram, so I
thought I could delete the library object so fig2dev wouldn't have
problems.  *However*, fig2dev still has problems, and if I use a text
editor I can see that the object is still in the .fig file.  (I think
fig2dev is generating bad postscript)

What is the best or most practical way to work around this?  I would
be content if someone can provide an easy way to eliminate the object
from the file (reading the spec and using a text editor doesn't
qualify for "easy").

TIA,
