Pages lost from Visio file

[GraemeUK]

I have a visio document with seven pages. It is linked to an excel file for
data graphic information.

I have saved this file and when I reopened all the pages were gone. Some
favourite stencils were retained along with visio drawings, however the
actual pages of diagrams are missing.

When I go to File >> Properties the pages are listed in content.

Anyone have any ideas as to why the diagram pages are "hidden".

I should have said its Visio 2007

The page UIVisibility has been set for some reason.
Our utilities at
http://www.visio-utilities.sandrila.co.uk/
can fix this or you can write a macro to do it.
I don't really do VBA but something like

loop through all pages
page.pagesheet.cellSRC[visSectionObject,
visRowPage, visPageUIVisibility].Set_Formula('=0')
end loop

Thanks Paul

I dont know enough about vba either I'm afraid.

I downloaded the trial. Which funtion do you thinkwould be best to try
first. I have run some like Copy pages to another document. Visio closes down
without generating anything.

Cheers

Page Report.
but, there does seem to be a problem with some installations on Visio
2007, most work just fine, but others cause Visio to either give an
exception, hang up at 100% usage or close Visio. Other people tell it
works fine with their Visio 2007. I don't have a handle on this
problem yet.

I save the files as a vsd file then opened it in openxml editor. The
UIVisibility for the pages is set to "0"

If I save the document as a web page it then produces a representation of
the page as it should be.

Any thoughts ?

.......Thanks for your time !

UIVisibility for the pages is set to "0"

Set it to 1 and import back to Visio.
It appears that the UIVisibility flag is the wrong way round, it
probably should have been called Invisibility !!!!

Hi Paul,

That's not my experience. 0 is visible and 1 is invisible, as far as I'm
aware.

One thing I was wondering about is if the file is in group edit mode or
similar (where pages don't show)?

Graeme, can you see any pages tabs at all?

I notice that saving a file in group edit mode adds a second window within
the xml. Do you see more than one 'Window' tag within the 'Windows' tag?

Best regards

John

D'oh, of course, you see what I mean about it being confusing!

Don't know what is wasn't just called Hidden?

Not just Group Edit mode, also Master edit mode and the Shapesheet
edit window. I wonder what the reasoning is behind restoring these
windows when reopening the document. I can't think of any valid reason
and I think it could only cause problems.
