Most of the shapes I’ve built (so far) on this site were done in Visio 2007 or Visio 2003.

The Visio file format changed between Visio 2002 and Visio 2003 so there are probably incompatibility problems.

Also, some of my smarter shapes use new features introduced in Visio 2007. Visio 2003 can always open Visio 2007 files, but some functionality might not work.

So, for some files I simply can’t provide Visio 2002 versions for technical reasons. For the rest, it is mostly because I don’t have time to do it.

Thanks for being there. I see most of your shapes for Visio 2007 – unfortunately my big corporate employer is stuck on Visio 2003 for a few more years.

I was happy you had the Free Visio People Shapes in Visio 2002 format.
As I test I downloaded both the 2002 and 2007 versions of these shapes. At first it seemed that both worked fine in Visio 2003, but then Visio 2003 hung (had to kill from Task Manager) when using the 2007 shapes. Also I discovered I could not edit the captions of the 2007 shapes.

Does this what you would expect.

Is there any general advise you can provide to Visio 2003 users wrt your shapes developed for 2007 … are we SOL?

Though I may not be able to use many of your shapes, I still find you posts entertaining and educational.

Thanks Again!

As a test I found that your

I’ll have to check on the text. Usually I include a yellow control handle that allows you to easily reposition the text. Maybe I forgot.

So you’d like a mini-group of people to represent a department or something? Cool!

Some suggestions for improvement, You could have choice of one or many, with the many being the front man plus two chaps hidden behind him.
You could also move the text bit down, or maybe underneath him so you can name your chap…or maybe some other hats like for an engineer (pointy tie), manager (pointy haired of course)…

Visio is a Microsoft product that only runs on Windows machines. I wouldn’t be surprised if Dia (for Linux) has some way of importing Visio-xml diagrams.

Visio files can be saved in an xml file format, extension .vdx, that other applications can then read or filter to some extent.

Certain content will require (painless, cost-free) membership in order to download, I just haven’t made the re-direct page very friendly yet.

There’s a log-in at the very bottom of most Visio Guy pages, where you can create an account.

Thanks for stopping by!

I tried to download the Free Visio People Shapes to no avail. I got a message that a login was required. Is there a place on the webpage to login, at all.
