In what stencil are the searched shapes ?

[Philippe C.]

In Visio 2003 anyway.
I search four a shape. I find it, but then there is now way to see from
which stencil it comes.

I don't think the originating stencil name is part of a master's
properties, many shapes could have come from one of many different
stencils.

Change how the shapes are displayed. Go Tools --> Options and choose the
Shape Search tab. The page is grouped in three parts. On the third part,
"Results" change "Sort results:" to "By Group"

Amazing what one can miss! I wonder how many people knew about that
option? Surely it would be better suited on the stencil's own menu.
