Visio stensils gone in 2007

[Gizzo]

I just recently upgraded from Visio 2003 to 2007. I notice now that
there are lots of stencils missing, particularly the Windows User
Interface Stencil under Visio Extras.

Do I have to download these stencils?

When i search for a shape eg "drop down menu item", Visio2007 finds a
shape and says that it belongs to UIMENU_M.VSS stencil. However when I
search for that stencil in my computer, it's nowhere to be found even
when I can already use the shape.

Is the Windows User Interface Stencil just hidden somewhere? If so how
do I integrate that in the stencil drop down menu?

thanks

Have you tried :
File / New / Software and Database / Windows XP User Interface ?
(assuming you have Visio 2007 Professional)

I only see the ff:
* Business
* Flowchart
* General
* Maps and Floor Plans
* Network
* Schedule
* Visio Extras

Are you sure you have Visio 2007 Professional? (not Standard)

 

[Gizzo]

my staff installed it for me so let me ask him. i did try to determine
the version by going to help-about but that didn't help.

assuming i have personal, is there a way for me to download (and pay)
for just the stencils i need or do i have to upgrade to professional?

thanks for your help and patience.
