template icons / symbols

[andy.carver]

Hi folks,

Does anyone know where the templates' pictures or icons come from,
when the templates are shown as blocks on the screen when you first
start Visio or when you go to View --> Task Pane ? Is there a way to
design or pick a picture to appear here, for a template you've
created?

Many thanks,
Andy

Oops, that last place I mentioned, for Visio 12, would be New -->
Getting Started...

Thanks,

The easiest way to get your templates to show up in Visio in manner you
desire would be to use Publishing tool which is included in the SDK for Visio
2007.
