how to find text in a visio diagram

[bmiller]

I haven't used Visio for a couple of years, but it seems like I used to just
use CTRL F to bring up a search box. I'm using Visio 2003 SP2(11.5509.8132)
and I don't see a Find under Edit. The File Search under File is useless.

I have several flow diagrams created in Visio - 36 pages of them. I want to
find the box that contains the text "ABCD123" - how do i do this?

Edit -> Find works just fine here.
Maybe the menus have been reaaranged
menu Tools -> Customize
on the Commands tab and check whether the Find menu is there.

Thanks so much Paul - that did it! I found the Find way down near the end.

Do you have the reduced menus?
menu Tools -> Customize -> Always Show Full Menus
(whoever though of that one!)

That option appears to be OK - thank you!
