Default Importing text files

I am importing a custom layout into Visio 2002 SR1 using text format
(CSV)files. This seems to work, except that everything is black and
white.

How would I specify, for example, that a shape is red, i.e. how in the
text file format do I specify FormatFillColor:2 ???

Here is a simple example of a file:

; test.csv
Template, "Block Diagram.vst"


Shape,"501","Circle","&",5.64,6.19,0.18,0.15
Shape,"221","Circle","QWE",5.79,7.72,0.40,0.25
Shape,"223","Circle","QTC",6.34,8.25,0.35,0.21
Shape,"220","Circle","ABC",3.1,6.14,0.35,0.21
Link,"","Single arrowhead","","223","221"
Link,"","Single arrowhead","","221","502"
Link,"","Single arrowhead","","221","501"
Link,"","Single arrowhead","","502","220"
Link,"","Single arrowhead","","501","220"

Is there a good book or online reference about importing using the
text format?

Thanks,
