In this context, trusted XML is simply XML emitted by Visio. Whenever Visio
saves out XML, the file includes a special checksum that is generated from
the timestamp and contents. Upon load back into Visio, if the file has not
been externally modified, it is read in without a recalc. If the file has
been altered, Visio considers the file untrusted and must do a full recalc.

Thanks. Where is there some sort of primer re trusted/untrusted XML? I'm
not familiar with this concept.

Yes, it is one method of cleaning out bad bits. Using "untrusted" XML in
Visio causes a total recalc of the shapesheet. This is great for
rebuilding
files but load time for the file is slower than binary or trusted XML.

Mark,
Wow. This worked!! I confess I have absolutely NO CLUE what saving as
XML actually *does*, but it sure banished the evil spirits. Is this
essentially a way to "decompose" a drawing & then reassemble its
freshly
aired-out components?
Thanks very much.

Very strange. You might try round-tripping the file through XML
to see
if
it can clean itself up. Save the document as VDX. Then open the
file
in
Notepad or another editor. Make some harmless change like adding a
space
and deleting it again, then resave the file. Now reopen the file in
Visio.

I'd been try to set it through the Text dialog. With the
Shapesheet
it
also fails, but with different error language: "An Error (1)
occurred
during the action Set Formula or Name. Unexpected end of file."
Curious....

Are you setting the margin through the Text dialog or via the
Shapesheet?
Does the other way also cause the same problem?

On a flowchart I have, if I try to change the Top Margin
spec for
a
given (or several) Text Block(s), I get a message citing Error
3400,
Action 1642, and suggesting I close & reopen.
Closing/reopening has no effect. I can't change the top margin
on any
of the shapes. There's nothing unusual about the diagram.
It's
got 7
shapes (all the same style), 6 connectors (ditto). One of the
shapes
is
pretty full and I've done a fair amount of paragraph-space
adjusting
to
fit all the text. The file was created just recently (and so
was the
template on which it's based). Other files allow this
operation
without
problems.
Any ideas how to fix this? Visio 2003, WinXP.
Thanks,
