Color fill in Bands in Cross Functional flowchart

[Frank]

Anyone know how to color the bands in a cross functional
flowchart? I've seen a prinited one with colors
differentiating the bands, but I can't get it to do it in
Visio 2003.
Thanks

You're in luck, it's not too hard.

First select the "swim lane" so that you see green handles. Then click on
the border, but not on the heading. You should now see little gray handles.
You have now *sub selected* the lane box, ie: you have selected a shape that
lives inside of a group.

You can apply a fill color to this sub-shape.

figure it out.
