Yes, to both questions. I'm accessing it using the Visio menu:
"File - Shapes - Open stencil" and it is available right there.

What happens if you create a new drawing and open this stencil? What about if (with Visio closed) you open the stencil by double clicking it. What happens then? Are your stencils docked or floating? It might already be open but moved off the side of the screen somewhere. I have a utility at http://www.visio-utilities.sandrila.co.uk/ install this and use the menu SuperUtils - Stencil - Stencil Report Is your stencil in the list? I've just done a test and even an empty file of 0 bytes called dummy.vss opens and shows as an empty stencil. If none of the above works then email me the stencil file to paul at pherber dot com -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. Electronics for Visio http://www.electronics.sandrila.co.uk/

Paul. I found that the stencil was open in the file already but the
title was "Stencil34" so when I tried to open it, nothing happened because it was already open. When I opened it independantly as you suggested of visio I say the Stencil34 title and the light bulb came on. Ive changed the title to match the contents. I just dont remember this being a problem befor but its been around a year since I used the file. Thanks for your help. Robert
