Visguy,
Having been a satisfied user of Visio 2003, I have recently spent a lot of money on Visio 2007 Standard - imagine my disgust at finding that many of the useful shapes/ stencils had gone and I'm supposed to spend a further £200 to get things I can already do in Visio 2003. How do I copy the shapes across and is there any reason why I shouldn't ?

Try running a search for *.vss in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\
Returned almost 500 stencils (about 100 MB total).

Hi jalgunn,
Which stuff are you missing, in particular?
I know in past "upgrades" they've ripped stuff out, but I can't remember off the top of my head what is missing from 2003 to 2007...

Most of the business processes stencils, engineering diagrams, networking diagrams - they've left a couple of stencils in each area, where they're used to be several. I'm annoyed that IDEF0 diagrams have been removed as I use them weekly. They have left one flow diagram, a basic LAN diagram, a Gantt chart a calendar and a mind map diagram. Most of these are standard Powerpoint anyway
Can I use Visio 2003 stencils in Visio 2007 ?
Thanks

Hi jalgunn,
It sounds to me like you've "upgraded" from Visio 2003 Professional to Visio 2007 Standard.
Microsoft Office Visio 2007 Edition Comparison (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/FX101757911033.aspx?ofcresset=1)
Look at your packaging, invoice, or for the existance of this file:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\VisPrx32.DLL
If it's not there, then you have Standard.
