Microsoft Visio Files

A question came up today regarding Microsoft Visio files, does Robohelp support these types of files and functionality?
Thanks
Wendy

Hi there
You should be able to right-click your RoboHelp project manager and import HTML files into the project.
Baggage files are simply files that you tell RoboHelp to include. Just like you would toss items into the trunk of your car so you are certain to bring them along.
Cheers... Rick

Can Java edit Microsoft Visio file??

Hello,
now I have many maps which made in M Visio , and I am going to edit these maps by Java
is there any components which can work with M Visio() file formats on Java?
thanks,

From http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-07-2004/jw-0712-officeml.html :
"[...] Microsoft also provides a similar format for Visio documents called DatadiagramML. With this format, you can create and manipulate Visio documents with Java programs in the same way you create and manipulate Excel documents with SpreadsheetML."

Error. your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.

I have the following inside my SharePoint server 2013 :-
EnterPrise Wiki site collection.
i have both "Excel services Application "& "Visio Graphics Service" running correctly.
The problem i am facing is as follow:-
when a user click on an Excel sheet or Visio document , it will be shown inside the browser without any problem.
but if the user click on "Open in Visio" OR "Open in Excel" links inside the browser, they will get the following errors:-
Sorry, but to open this workbook, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Excel and a browser that supports opening files directly from Office Web Apps.
To open this document, your computer must be running a supported version of Microsoft Visio and a browser that supports opening files directly from Visio Web Access.
I have the following settings inside my PC:-
Office 2010 for Excel, word, power point,etc.
Visio 2013.
i have disabled SharePoint foundation support for office 2013
Can anyone advice on this please?

Hi,
Please try to reset the Internet Explorer settings or open Internet Explorer in In-Private browsing and then check if this issue occurs.
If the issue persists, please try to access SharePoint in another computer with Office 2013 and then check if this issue occurs. Or repair Office and restart your server.
Here is a blog about the same issue for you to take a look at:

Microsoft Visio 2010 - error 128 - corrupt file cannot open

I've tried everything in the Microsoft self-help article and nothing has worked. I'm assuming that keeping the Visio file on a flash drive and hibernating the laptop with the file open might have caused this. Does anyone know how to fix it? Do I need a
Level 2 to help? Am I simply going to have to redraw? Many questions - hoping for answers from this learned group.

Hi,
Try the following methods:
Switch on your computer system then sign on as an administrator.
Click on the Start button then click All Programs, Accessories, System, and after that select System Restore.
Inside the new window, select “Restore my PC to an earlier period” and after that click Next.
Select the most recent system restore point from the “select a restoration date” listing, then click on Next.
Then click the Next button on the verification window.
Reboot the pc once the restoration has finished.
Or:
open the directory where the file is stored in windows explorer
right-click on the file and select properties
Select the previous versions tab
Select the most recent version from a restore point and select 'open'
If the file opens successfully then save it as a new version of the file.
If it won't open, try an earlier one, and so on until you are successful.

How do you recover an autorecover / autosave file in Microsoft Visio 2010?

Crashed on me yesterday after 8 hours of work. The autorecover is set to every 10 minutes, but I can't find the file. I have read everything online and none of it works. If anyone can help, please let me know. Just keep in mind I know very little about
computers.

Hi,
Up to now, I don’t find easy way to recover unsaved Visio file. The only way that I find is to search all files modified on the date that you edited the Visio file, and then find the file.
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/office/en-US/1281043e-058c-489c-a945-7266ab5c5b30/where-are-the-auto-recovery-files-stored-for-visio-2010?forum=visiogeneral
If anyone else knows another convenient way, don’t hesitate to tell us.

Then open FF, tools, options, application settings, search "visio" and change the default to open with Visio. There might be cases where even though Visio is displayed, you'd have to browse to Visio.exe on your Office install path.
This is tested and worked on XP/Win7 with Office 07/10.

How to access hyperlinks in Adobe Reader X when the hyperlinks were created in Microsoft Visio then exported as a PDF?

I created some hyperlinks in Microsoft Visio then saved the document as a PDF. When I opened the document and scroll over the shape I set the hyperlink to, it doesn't even register it as a hyperlink. The cursor doesn't change shape as a click able object, when I do open another PDF file that has hyperlinks it responds correctly to each shape (those hyperlinks were created within Adobe so I don't know if that has anything to do with it). I have looked all over the internet and found a couple of forums that answered a couple portions of my question but not entirely hence why I am reaching out now. If anyone could assist with this I would be very grateful.

Commonly there are three ways to create a PDF from MS Visio.
The first is a Microsoft process built in to the Office applications.
For issue resolution (if any) associated with this process you must investigate what is available over in Microsoft web space.
The second and third methods are predicated on having Acrobat installed.
Method 2 makes use of the Adobe PDF virtual printer.
This is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader).
This virtual printer outputs to PDF rather than paper. As with output to paper the output to PDF provides no interactivity (e.g., links).
Method 3 makes use of PDFMaker.
Acrobat's PDFMaker is installed with an install of Acrobat Standard or Acrobat Pro (but not with Adobe Reader).
PDFMaker can be configured to pass Office applications' hyperlinks through to the output PDF as PDF Link annotations.
IMPORTANT DETAILS !!
#1 - For Viso you must use Acrobat Pro.
#2 - The Acrobat / Viso versions must be compatible.
#3 - (as with all software) the application version(s) used must be compatible with the OS used.
Consequently, for any meaningful suggestions to be forthcoming you must identify the specific method used eh.

Editing SharePoint metadata for Visio files

When I am editing Visio files metadata in SharePoint 2007, it opens a web dialog page to enter the metadata for the SharePoint library, but, when a column field is type: choice-drop down menu. It doesn't take current metadata for those fields, so, the current
metadata has to be chosen again. Is there any technical document that explains this?
It also takes too much time to open Visio templates in SharePoint, it doesn't happen with Visio standard files, the solution was to uncheck automatically detect settings, but is there any other solution?
I am using Windows 7, Office 2010, Visio 2010 and Internet Explorer v8.

Hi Javi,
thank for the reply,
after some discussion, trial and research, seems there is a process that is missed.
as i know, when we check out the document the metadata itself cannot be edited. so then while we already saved the metadata, as by design the web file properties will be out and the metadata needs to be re-input again, as they will not be passed on check
in process.
so, this behavior is most likely by design, if you need to customize this then i think you need to open a ticket to us.
"By default you cannot edit MetaData in case the document is checked-out - which is by design and acceptable. But if you open up a checked-out document from a WSS doclib and edit it in Word and click File > Save As - in order to save the document back
into WSS - you are prompted for typing in MetaData (Web File Properties). In case you change or fill out some of them and in order to see them reflected on the WSS page you have to check-in the document again - which you will be ask for to do while closing
the office application btw.
If you keep the document checked-out the metadata are not reflected on the WSS page and are hidden (stored somewhere...) to the user. Users are confused because they cannot see the Metadata they typed in until they check-in the document. This wasn´t necassary
with SPS2001 where we could see the changes we made to metadata immediately on the dashboard. And as Joerg also mentioned bad user experience - we create unnecessary versions as we have to check-in the document which creates an additional version.
Solution here would be: either to reflect the changed MetaData immediately without the need to check-in the document or to avoid the Web File Properties Dialog box while performing a Save As of a checked-out document. "

Aries

Add some (Master) Shapes to another (Master) Shape in Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 when add a (Master) Shape to the Page

I want to create a new Master Shape in the Microsoft Visio 2013 x64 like the Class
Master Shape in the UML Class Stencil.
When add the Class Master Shape to a page, it appends two Member and one Separator Master Shapes in itself automatically. Furthermore, can add more Member and Separator Master Shapes in it.
I was thinking that it adds other Master Shapes in itself by some written VBA codes; however, when I checked the file of the UML Class (Metric)
Stencil in the following full path, I got that it uses no VBA codes, not at all.
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office15\Visio Content\1033\USTRME_M.VSSX
The file extension is "Visio Stencil (*.vssx)" instead of "Visio Macro-Enabled Stencil (*.vssm)"; so, it can't have VBA codes.
I know that I can do something by adding some new Rows in the Actions Section of the ShapeSheet; however, it doesn't exist any action Rows to add fresh Member and Separator Master Shapes for Class Shape.
Figure 1 - Separator Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
Figure 2 - Display a Bar to insert Separator Shape
Figure 3 - Member Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and without any related rows in the ShapeSheet
Figure 4 - Display a Bar to insert Member Shape
When I do RMB click on a Class Shape that is placed in the page, it has two new options in theContext Menu:
Show Template Parameter
Show Stereotype
And I see related Actions' Section Rows for them.
Figure 5 - Class Shape with two additional options in the Context Menu and related rows in the ShapeSheet
When I do RMB click on the Member and Separator Shapes in added Class Shape, can see "Insert "Member/Separator" before/after";
however, when I add Member and Separator Master Shapes on the page directly (not in the Class Shape), when I do RMB click on them, can't see extra options in the Context Menu.
Figure 6 - Separator Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
Figure 7 - Member Shape with no additional options in the Context Menu
I checked their ShapeSheet and can't find any related rows for above-mentioned actions.
Now, my question is that how can I create a new Master Shape with the ability to accept some other Master Shapes without any VBA codes like Class Shape
in the UML Class Stencil that is created by Microsoft?
Regards Mohsen Rostami

The class diagram master shape is a "Container/List" shape, which has two "elements" (members) pre-loaded. You can of course build these groups using VBA. You might try to google it. Here is a starter.

Microsoft Visio on MacBook Pro OSX

Hi All,
After I have been one month with brand New 15" MacBook Pro retina display, I set up windows into one part of my HDD.
but I got a complain from my friend that Windows will kill my battery and fan, so I follow him by stop use windows on my Mac.
then turn into VMWare Fusion for Microsoft Visio. Is it any one know any other OSX app can work similar like Microsoft Visio?
Please advise all including Windows on my Mac and Windows on WMWare, what will be affect to my 15" MacBook Pro with Retina Display?

Generally there should be no ill effect. It could be the wrong version of VMWare. I would consult with the VMWare forum if you are having trouble with it, or try Virtualbox instead, which is free.

Microsoft Visio Compatibility Pack?

I need to install Microsoft Visio Compatibility Pack which would allow me to view Visio 2013 file format in Visio 2010.
I have found this page:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39640
According to System Requirements, this software can be installed in XP. But when I run the setup, I got this:
So, what is the solution to open Visio 2013 files in Visio 2010 (implying in XP, of course)?
Thanks

Please upgrade the latest update and run the setup again.
I have done so already. But that didn't make my Visio 2010 (viewer) to open VSDX files.
For the article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2844302/en-us
It says that Only Windows 7 or later versions of Windows
support the Visio Compatibility Pack.
Then the problem is the description in
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=39640
Look at the image below that I captured from that page:
