Basic Flowchart Shape Stencil

[Steve]

I'm not a visio developer, but a person whom uses visio.

Q1: Is this the right newsgroup? If not, can someone provide me a better
web-based (i.e., non-OE) newsgroup?

Q2: How do I change the fill properties on the "process" shape?

I right click on the title of the stencil, but the "Edit Stencil" menu item
is disabled (grayed out). I'm running Visio 2003.

Q3: How do I disable selection for viewing metric stencils, other than
deleting (i'm okay with this)?

Thanks,

Steve

This newsgroup works but is typically used for programming questions. The
microsoft.public.visio.general group is a good choice for standard usage
questions.

The stencils that come with Visio 2003 cannot be modified. You can right
click on the Process master shape and choose Add to My Shapes to make a
customizable copy of the shape. You can access your My Shapes stencils
under File > Shapes > My Shapes.

I believe the only way to make Metric content disappear is to go to Add /
Remove Programs and customize your Visio installation to remove the Metric
content.
