I just tried this using AS 4.0.0 and Word 2003, and it worked (i.e. I can
see the drawing in Word when I open the document on the desktop PC). It even
works with WordPad on Windows XP.

I suspect the problem you're having is due to the older version of Word, but
you could try replacing AS 4.5 with AS 4.0.0.
