Nice site and this is my first post great shapes indeed. May be people know about this tip i am going to share

To add stensils from People Shape

Select all from stencils and right click and then select Add this to My Shapes –> Add to new Stencil —> save it as People shapes.vss

and you dont need to copy paste above downloaded Free Visio People Shapes 2007.vsd in your drawings just rely only on My Shapes >People Shape.vss

Enjoy

Just put the file wherever you want. Unzip it or go in and remove the “.vsd” file from the zipped file and place it in your favorite Visio files directory.

Then you can open the file and copy shapes from the document into whatever you’re working on!

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)…
