Default Add custom template to drawing type category section onstart-up sc

I would like to add a template I created to one of the categories in the
drawing type section that appears when visio is started up. Is this possible?
I am using Visio 2003.

TIA.
Regards,
Antje Crawford

Find the "My Shapes" folder in "My Documents", add a new folder under
"My Shapes" with the required category name and put your template file
in here. (the name can duplicate an existing Visio category)
Now go to Visio menu Tools - Options - Advanced
and select the File Paths button
In te Templates section, add the path to the "My Shapes" folder. (add
a ";" if there is already a path name there i.e. path1;path2
Now restart Visio.

or ... If you are a Visual Studio user, then download the Visio SDK and use
the Visio publishing tool
