Just to spell it out for those who don't know: When Art refers to OLE,
that's File > Import > Object. Don't import OLE objects! It's evil, I
tell you! ;-)

Michelle/Terie mentioned Visio and Canvas. I have no experience with the
latter, but I use a fair number of Visio graphics. I strongly recommend
making PDFs of them and importing those by reference (with File > Import
> File). If you have a recent version of Acrobat Pro (and install it
after Visio), it puts a Convert to PDF plugin into Visio, so it's a
one-click operation. 
 
HTH!
