SYMPTOMS

When you try to save a shape found using the Find Shape feature, you are only able to save the selection as a Visio Stencil (*.vss) file.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

The Find Shape command searches the stencils that are installed in the stencil path on the local hard disk. If you have an Internet connection, it also searches the Web for Visio shapes, including new shapes, shapes that have been updated since you installed Visio, and shapes created by other companies.

For more information about the Find Shape command, type find shape in the Ask a question box or the Answer Wizard, and then press ENTER to view the topics.
