Shape search - no results

[Beth]

Recently installed Visio 2003 - In the 'Search for Shapes' I entered 'Arrows'
and entered ... expecting the results to produce numerous selections for
arrows... no shapes found. My path for Shape search seems ok in the
Tools/Options -- so maybe visio doesn't have delivered lots of arrows ?
Under the 'Arrows' on the left - there are 6 selections.

New user to Visio -- someone else in my office has visio and they find lots
of shapes so certain it is a setup issue? Well not certain...

Try just "arrow"

odd, I get 190 shapes.
Have you got all the boxes ticked in th search options?
Are you behind a company firewall? Is it possible different users have
differing settings?
If you have personal software firewalls is Visio enabled?
