SYMPTOMS

Consider the following scenario:
  • You previously installed Microsoft Office Visio 2003.
  • You install Microsoft Office Visio 2007 and enable the "Keep earlier versions" option.
  • You start Visio 2007, and then close Visio 2007.
  • You start Visio 2003, create a drawing, save the drawing as a template, and then close Visio 2003.
In this scenario, when you then double-click the template, Visio 2007 starts instead of Visio 2003.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, start Visio 2003, and then open the template by clicking Open on the File menu.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2007
  • Microsoft Office Visio Standard 2007
