Well, I understand (excuse my poor english) ^^

Imagine two users : User1 and Me. We have our own files : User1.vsd and
Me.vsd.
Each file use the same battery of shapes stored in ShapesType1.vss,
ShapesType2.vss and ShapeType3.vss (I called that previously a "stencil
structure", a set of vss files).
User1 has opened in first User1.vsd and load his stencils (in his stencil
window).
If I want to have stencil automatically loaded at this moment on my file
Me.vsd, I do what you wrote and it does'nt work when I re-open my file
(stencil window is blank).
So I mentioned in my previous post the way to load Stencil in Visio : you
have a check box with 3 choices : Original, Copy and Read-only. If I choose
original (so it keeps the link with the original stencil structure, that I'm
looking for), your operation does'nt work. If I choose the rest, it's okay
(so it becomes an isolated stencil structure just for my vsd file...but I
still want a shared stencil structure).

Right, are your stencils stored at the same path for both users? Are
these two users on the same computer or different computers? Are the
stencils actually available on both? Just attaching stencils just adds
a reference to the stencils, it doesn't actually add them physiaccly
to the file.

Take just one file Me.vsd, Open the stencils, save as with workspace.
Close Visio. Open the Me.vsd. Are the stencils attached?

Repeat for User1.vsd.
