When I open an existing drawing, a stencil always opens. How can I

[johng]

How can I get Visio (MS Office Visio Professional 2003 SP1) to NOT
automatically open a stencil when opening a drawing?

Even if I close the stencil and save the drawing again, the next time I
open the drawing the stencil automatically reopens.

Thanks in advance,

John

Go to File>Save As and click the drop-down menu on the Save button in the
Save As dialog. Uncheck "Workspace" in the menu, and then save your drawing.
The stencil should no longer come up each time you open the drawing.
