Visio Template & Stencil
How can you connect a stencil to a template?
I created a template and my own stencils. When a person open the template the stencil is missing. The stencil must be open first, close both the stencil and template, then you can re-open the template and the stencil is there. That's crazy... |

Open the template, then open the required stencils via the menu File - Shapes, then save the template (save as, select template and ensure Workspace is selected (Visio 2007 is different, before the Save As do menu File - Properties - Save Workspace )) -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.

Visio Template & Stencil
Perhaps your stencil is not in a recognised folder or in the same folder as
the template? Visio will check for the stencils in the following order (I think): 1. Is the stencil in the installation table? (Either built-in or published correctly) 2. Is the stencil in the same folder as the template? 3. Is the stencil in a stencils paths folder? (Use Options / Advanced / File Paths) If it fails, then you won't get the stencil to open automatically. "Brandy" wrote in message ... Sorry Paul, it did not work. Thanks anyway...

Visio Template & Stencil
Yes, the stencil is located on the SharePoint drive/folder. The stencil is
attached to the template and both are located in the same folder; however, when you open the template the stencil will not attach. Thanks for all your help.
