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, David Kightley |

Importing text files
Can this sort of thing be done in Visio 2000 also? I'm using the Property
Report tool to output in a spreadsheet format. I'd like to be able to make changes in the spreadsheet (mostly changing Text and Number Text) and then have those changes reflected in the flowchart. And I would like to add new shapes by making new rows in the spreadsheet.
