VISIO 2007 Print Stencils For Reference?

[Marc D.]

In Visio 2000 I was able to print all of the stencils and keep them in a
binder for reference. I believe that there was an Add-on or Macro which
provided this function. Can I do this in 2007? I can't find anything in
Help or the Knowledge Base.

Thanks!!

Hi Marc,

I think they removed that feature, hoping that the Shape Search feature
might make up for that.

I know that Sandrila's Super Utilities have a Stencil Report feature
(http://www.visio-utilities.sandrila.co.uk/)

Visimation's ShapeSource might have a tool as well:

This was discussed previously.

My old pre-MS Visio 4.1 Technical had a small add-on "Stencil Report
Wizard.EXE" and associated template "Stndoc.VST". It works well with all
later versions of Visio including Visio 2007 Beta.

I asked in this newsgroup in Nov 06 whether MS would haul me through courts
if I made those two small files available by way of a link posted in this MS
newsgroup. A respected MVP suggested there would be little problem.
Further, the Microsoft site:
http://www.microsoft.com/mspress/books/sampchap/5024b.aspx.
indicates that for Visio 2002, the Stencil Report Wizard will no longer be
included, but "may be available as a Web download". Since Microsoft clearly
intended the files to be freely available, they are here (zipped 24kB):

Folks will need VBRUN300.dll to get this to work as well.

Interesting, Chris. I've searched but don't have that file on my system
(running XP Prof SP2, Office 2002, Visio 2003 & 2007 Beta, Corel Office
Suite X3, Corel Draw X3, Corel Paint Shop Pro X3, Corel Designer Technical
12, IE7, Firefox 2.0.0.1, Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 6.0 etc etc etc
etc) - maybe I'm pure of heart and have no need for VBRUN300.dll .... or
maybe it's because I'm Australian .....


Anyway, the Stencil Report Wizard has worked fine on all versions of Visio.
However, those interested to try it may like to give feedback.

Also, I moved the files from the previous location (I cancelled that post).
It's now here:

Paddy, Chris:

Thanks for excellent replies. I really appreciate it. I have a tendency to
mix and match stencils in my flowsheets and having a single reference book is
really helpful. I'll let you know if I run into a snag.

Thanks again!!
