How do I create a template in Visio?

[Jenny1222]

I would like to create my own organization chart templates in Visio rather
than using the templates that are available. I have figured out how to create
my own shapes and my own effects, but cannot figure out how to make a
template.

Hello Jenny,

Set up a new blank document and open the stencils that you want to be
available to your new solution and then save the document as a .vst file (in
a location that you've set or is already set in Tools/Options/Advanced/File
Paths.../Templates

Bear in mind that the Org Chart tool in Visio is an Add-On and a lot of the
functionality that you get is due to coding behind the scenes.
