How to turn off shape search in Visio 2003
I just upgraded from Visio 2000 to 2003 and I know where the shapes I
need are. How can I remove the Search for Shapes window altogether? How can I turn off this feature? Thanks. |

How to turn off shape search in Visio 2003
Take a look at the Options Dialog under the Tools menu. There should be a
tab for Shape Search. You should be able to turn off the seach screen and change the search criteria. It is Visio 2007, and I believe it was introduced in Visio 2003. John...

How to turn off shape search in Visio 2003
Thanks but I tried that and Tools/Options/Shape Search won't let me
deselect all locations. (Also in that tab, the Properties button is never active for some reason.) I guess it's not a big deal but it is an annoyance when half of the shapes pane comes up with a nonsense question on how to get started. And if no shapes are loaded in a file it just eats a quarter of the screen for no purpose until I have to close it manually. It's mouse only of course so I can't even just hit a key. (And I can't even get to the search box if I had something to search for without picking up the mouse anyway.) Oh well, enough bitching and moaning. Thanks again.

How to turn off shape search in Visio 2003
I checked and turning off the search pane was added for Visio 2007. So it is
something to look forward to whenever you decide to upgrade. Microsoft Visio 2000 is the oldeset version that qualifies for an upgrade, so you have a while before you HAVE to upgrade. John...
