New Page doesn't keep name

[mmarch]

If I create additional Pages in a Visio diagram (Insert > New Page) and give
the Page a name, after clicking Ok, a new Page appears, but the name defaults
to PageX (where X is a numeral indicating the new Page number). This happens
in New Visio files, or ones created from a built-in Template.

Any suggestions?

That is not typical behaviour. What version of Visio are you using?

Are you able to rename the page after it has been created?
What is the name of the page you are trying to create?
Are you using the English language version of Visio?
Are your Windows language settings other than English?

John,
I am running Visio 2007 SP2 12.0.6425.1000 on 64-bit Windows Vista Ultimate
SP2.

If I create a new Visio file (File > New > New Drawing (US Units), go to
Insert > New Page > and enter a name (e.g. TEST) a new page gets created with
the name: Page-2. I can then rename the page without any issue, save the
file and the new page name remains saved.

I am using an English version, and my locale info is set in Vista to English
(United States).

Thanks!

Michael

I tried to see if there was some compatibility issue with Visio / Vista, and
found nothing. However, I found a somewhat different page naming issue that
did involve Visio and Vista. See the provided link. I don't think there was
a resolution to that issue as addressed by Chris Roth, Paul Herber, and David
Parker. Perhaps there is a bug involving the page naming with Vista???

Not much help.

This is a known bug ... here is some of the email support I had from
Microsoft:

It looks like you’ve run right into an obscure bug where the use of certain
ActiveX controls can permanently disable page naming and reordering for that
user account on an x64 machine. We’ve seen it with the MS Ink controls, MS
Web Browser, and the MS Office Document Imaging (MODI) viewer control.

I don’t think we have a reliable workaround that applies to all the affected
ActiveX controls, but you can give this a try:

Launch the "Regional and Language Options" control panel, "Keyboard and
Languages" tab, click "Change Keyboards...", select "Ink Correction (64-Bit
Only)" and click Remove.

Removing "InkCorrection" with the above control panel sets the following reg
value:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\CTF\TIP\{F25E9F57-2FC8-4EB3-A41A-CCE5F08541E6}\LanguageProfile\0x00000409\{F2510000-2FC8-4EB3-A41A-CCE5F08541E6}]
"Enable"=dword:00000000

The bug is fixed in Visio 14.



I then replied with:

Hmm ... you are right again.
The InkCorrection wasn’t the answer, but I have two add-ins, one that has
the MS Web Browser and the other has the references below. When I removed
them, the Page Name came back again.
Wierd!
