How do I add a shape file

[JohnB]

I have downloaded a shape file (from Cisco). I have Visio 2007.
How do I import that into Visio?

I'd like it to show up under the Network category. How do I do that?

Thanks

Normally you can just put it into the "My Shapes" folder in "My
Documents". The stencil will now show in menu File -> Shapes -> My
Shapes

I'd like it to show up under the Network category. How do I do that?

Create a folder called Stencils and then one below that called
"Network" for the stencil and go to menu Tools -> Options -> Advanced
-> File Paths
and add the path to the Stencils folder to the stencils path.
The stencil will now show in the Network stencils.
