Default Can't find my main document

I created a 22 page document in Visio 2007 Prof. The last thing I did was
try to create my own stencils that will be used for my layout. that way it
will be handy when others have to add (racks and network equipment in a data
center). When I open it up, all I get is one page with a shape that I was
trying to create. . . I know the rest of my document is still here because
when I go to File, Properties, Contents tab - it shows all of my pages and
objects. And also, when I save as a web page, my original document is shown.
There are no page tabs at the bottom like usual. No CLOSE button to close
out whatever this "page" is called. On the title bar is says
"datacenter.vsd:Server.30 GROUP - Microsoft Visio" The "Server.30GROUP"
part should not be there.

Thank you!!!

Hello DJ,

Sounds like you're in the group shape editting window.

Does ctrl+F5 help?

Best regards

John

sounds like you renamed your document as .vst, instead of making a copy of
your document and naming it as .vst

although I don't remember. . . I usually just hit the save button. If I did
rename my document. . . how do I get back to my main document so I can
continue with my project?

Thanks Al

I'll echo John on this one. It sounds like you are in the group edit window
for a particular shape. Can you close that window or possible switch back
to the main drawing using the Window menu?

Thanks guys. . .I can't find anything at all that will let me close out this
page/window. I've tried every option to delete, exit, close, clear, you name
it. It will only close out the whole program, or delete the shape, but I
just don't see anything to close out this group window thingy. . . I got a
response from another post that said to click on the red X which is the last
item on the edit menu. . . but I don't have a red x.

Thanks for helping me out.

Hello Deanna,

What does your Window menu show? Click on the Window menu item and it
should show a list of the open windows. As long as you've got more than one
item click Cascade to arrange them across the screen from where you 'should'
be able to close the offending group shape window.

Let us know if this works.

Best regards

John

Under Window, I have New Window, Tile, Cascade, Show Shapesheet, and a
checkmark next to DataCenter.vsd:server.30GROUP. And that's it. No
chevron so I know I can see all options. . . I've tried Cascade, but that
GROUP Window is the only one.

Again, I KNOW my regular Window is there, somewhere. my file size shows 5.5
MB. much to big for one little server shape. File, properties shows a list
of all my pages. And when I save as a web page, the web page is the actual
document that I'm trying to work with.
