download home plan

[Gerry]

I just purchased Visio Standard 2003 and I want to make a home plan. When I
go to the building template the only plan I get is for office. There is no
template for a home plan. How do I find it and download it or do I need the
professional visio 2003 to do that??

You need Visio Pro for that...but I'll let you in on a neat trick.

If it's just specific shapes you are looking for, just search for them in
the Shape Search. You'll find all the Visio Pro shapes there.

You can set different drawing scales in the Page Setup dialog (so you don't
need Pro for that).

Lori,
you say that I can get specific shapes like home furniture, appliances etc.
from the Shape Search. I am VERY NEW at this and want to know if there is a
button I press someplace on Visio to get SHAPE SEARCH?? Also the Page Setup
dialog---how do I do that ti get differant drawing scales. I saw previous
questions asked of you in the same topic but need a bit more detail to get me
started. I would appreciate anything you can tell me and if you can be
patient with me. thank you Gerry

When you open your drawing, the stencils will be on the left. The title will
be Shapes and under it a prompt "Search for Shapes:". If you entire a
keyword, Visio will search a special area of the Microsoft website for
shapes with that key word.

You can then drag the shapes to your drawing.
