I forget the exact menu names, but there is a utility called Custom Property
Manager that will help with this. Look in Tools > Macros > Visio Extras for
Edit Custom Property Set and Apply Custom Property Set.
In Visio 2003, this was enhanced to be the Custom Property Sets feature
found in the Tools main men.
