Create Drawing from CSV or TXT Data?

I am new to Visio 2007 PRO. How do I create a drawing, say a group of
circles, if I have the positions (x, y) and radius (or size) values stored in
a CSV or TXT file?

I used to be able to do that in Visio 2000 using the FileOpen As , and
choose .csv or .TXT from the file types available (Can't find the same
feature in 2007). The CSV file already contains records for SHAPE
attributes. I have few thousand such shapes per page, manual entry is not an
option.
Help, please!

Really, no manual entry???
I'm not in front of V2007, so I can't give you the exact steps, but, this
link should help:
