Shapes Window

[AndrewH]

When I open a certain file in Visio the shapes window is always empty even
though I saved the file with various shape folders open. How do I setup Visio
so it open as I had closed the file?

You need to save the file with Workspace ticked. If the file is
already saved then you will need to do a SaveAs but keep the same
path/filenames. The Workspace option is well hidden as a drop down
option on the Save button. What was wrong with the normal tick box
type of control?

Hi Paul,

Many thanks, as easy as that!
