Default Double-click on grouped objects open in a new window in VISIO 2003

I have been using and upgrading VISIO since 2.0. I got use to
double-clicking on grouped objects and having them open in a new window.
This obviously has changed in recent versions. I know that this can be set
in the Behavior dialog for the group however is there a way to set "open in a
new window" as the DEFAULT whenever I create a group of objects?

No way to do this "globally", as far as I know, but I tried a hack that
suprisingly works, and is probably "not officially supported" : )

You can create a template that you always use , MyNewDrawing.VST, for
example, and do the following:

- View Document Explorer
- Browse the tree to Styles Normal
- Right-click and choose Show ShapeSheet
- Find the cell: Events EventDblClick
- Set the formula for this cell to = OPENGROUPWIN()
This is the same thing that you do when you set the Double Click behavior
from the dialog, only now you are doing it for a Style object.

All shapes created with the Normal style, or any shape based on normal will
have this double-click behavior. Single shapes will also inherit the
formula, but it has no meaning for single shapes.

Weird. Have fun...
