Open New Visio Drawing using VBA in Word?
in [Word VBA]

Prev: Macro warning/error even though trust center settings correct
Next: Different results from counts ... why?
From: Ramsay on 24 Dec 2009 08:14 Hi, We're creating new Word 2007 templates, and some of them require flowchart functionality from Visio. Our goal is to create a macro within the Word template to call Visio, open a new drawing and have a custom stencil set open for users to use. Users would then open create their flowchart/diagram in Visio, and it would update automatically into the Word template when Visio is closed. I'm using the following code to start Visio, however I'm stuck on where to go from there: Sub Visio() Shell "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\VISIO.exe", vbNormalFocus End Sub Apologies if this is in the wrong sub-forum...I figured it was a Word problem first and foremost, and I'll take any Visio-specific questions to the appropriate forum. Regards.
