nested blocks, the subblocks are not converted.

it in Visio, objects in the upper left quadrant shift to the lower left
quadrant and objects in the lower right quadrant shift to the lower left
quadrant.

changes and the text extends outside of the shape. TrueType font sizes are
expanded to 33% of original size.

quotation mark (") indicating inches, the result is blank or the number
0.
- When you attept to calculate area by using the Shape Area
and Perimeter tool, area is incorrectly calculated in millimeters.
- If you attempt to input dates prior to 1/1/1900 in the
Timeline solution, Visio stops responding (hangs).
- In an organization chart, if you use the Compare
Organization Data feature, the changes are listed twice in the
report.
- If you installed Visio by using active directory
advertising, the DWG conversion filter fails to install on first
use.
- When Visio 2002 is distributed or deployed as part of a hard disk image, Enterprise or Select users may be asked to activate the product.
New Capabilities in Visio 2002 SR-1
Support for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002
If you are using Visual Studio .NET 2002 as your development
environment, Visio Professional 2002 SR-1 adds the ability to reverse-engineer
your Visual Studio .NET 2002 projects to create UML (Unified Modeling Language)
class diagrams. This feature includes support for the following languages:
- Microsoft Visual Basic .NET
- Microsoft Visual C# .NET
- Microsoft Visual C++ .NET
Note Visual Studio .NET must be installed for this UML functionality
to be available.
Support for Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server
You can save a Visio document as a Web page directly to a
document library. To use this feature, you must have Microsoft Office XP or
Microsoft Office 2000 installed, and a server running Microsoft SharePoint
Portal Server.
ClearType Support
When you select the
ClearType Support option, text on LCD (or flat panel) screens appears exceptionally
clear. When you select this feature, the horizontal resolution is tripled on
Microsoft Windows XP.
This functionality is unavailable (dimmed) if
you are running one of the following operating systems:
- Microsoft Windows 2000
- Microsoft Windows NT
- Microsoft Windows 95/98

To locate this option, click
Options on the
Tools menu, and then click the

Center:
