Default action to "Open" for embedded drawings

[Chris D'Amato]

I've been wracking my brains trying to change the default behavior for
Visio 11 drawings embedded in Word 2003 documents.

By default, when you double-click on the drawing you get the in-place
editing interface; I have never found this useful.

If you right-click and choose Visio Object / Open you get a much more
usuable interface with the drawing in its own window.

Can I change the default action of the double-click in Word to work
like the Open command instead of the Edit command? I use Visio drawings
in Word all the time and this would save me a lot of small annoyances.

Thanks for your help!
