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,

David Kightley

Default 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.
