Border and connector

[johnny]

I am trying to fill the main part of a "Border small". It looks like it is a
compounded structure so I try to ungroup it, but shape protection or layer
properties is prohibiting this. Just changing the fill only works for the
title bar.
I use Visio 2002-SP2.
Any suggestions?

1. Select the shape
2. Menu: "Edit > Open Group" or "Edit > Open Border Small"
You get a window with a yellow background. You are inside the group.
3. Select the lower, non-filled shape
4. Menu: "Window > Show ShapeSheet"
5. Look for the cell "Geometry1.NoFill"
It should say "TRUE"
6. Change the value to "FALSE" or simply "0"

You are now an honorary Shape God.
