Cannot Search for Visio 2003 Shapes by the Master Name (831064)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003
- Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2003
SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you use the Search for
Shapes feature to search for shapes, when you search for the master name, the
name is not found. If you search for one of the keywords that is associated
with the master instead of searching for the master name, the query is
successful. This issue occurs even if you have the Indexing Service
enabled.CAUSEThe Search for Shapes feature in Visio 2003 searches the
property values of the shape, including the keywords, but not the master name.
WORKAROUNDTo work around this issue, if you want to search for the
master, search for a keyword value that is associated with the master instead
of searching for the master name. Or, when you create a new master, in the
Master Properties dialog box (right-click the master in the
stencil, point to Edit Master, and then click Master
Properties), type the master name as one of the keywords in the
Keywords box. STATUSMicrosoft
