"*************************\r\nVISIO 2.0 README.TXT FILE\r\n*************************\r\nThis file contains important, late-breaking information about Visio. We recommend you read this file and keep a printed copy with your Visio documentation. For important network-specific information, be sure to read (and print) the NETWORK.TXT file in the Visio directory.\r\n\r\nTip: If necessary, choose Word Wrap from the Notepad Edit menu to wrap the text within the document window.\r\n\r\n\r\n----------------------------------\r\nREPLACING VISIO 1.0 WITH VISIO 2.0\r\n----------------------------------\r\nWhen you install Visio 2.0 on top of Visio 1.0, copies of the Visio 1.0 templates and stencils can be saved in a separate subdirectory.\r\n\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------\r\nOPENING VISIO 2.0 FILES WITH VISIO 1.0\r\n---------------------------------------\r\nYou cannot use Visio 1.0 to open files created using Visio 2.0. If you try to open a Visio 2.0 file by using the Open command from the Visio 1.0 File menu, Visio displays a message that says you're using the wrong version of Visio. If you try to open a Visio 2.0 file by double-clicking the filename in the Windows File Manager, Visio 1.0 displays an internal error message, which does not describe the problem. If you get this message and suspect the file you're trying to open was created in Visio 2.0, you can confirm it by trying to open the file using the Open command from the File menu.\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------\r\nVISIO 2.0 INSTALLED FILES\r\n-------------------------\r\nThe following lists show the files copied to your hard drive if you install the complete version of Visio in the default location:\r\n\r\nSetup copies these program and text files to the Visio directory:\r\nNETWORK.TXT\r\nPROGREF.HLP\r\nREADME.TXT\r\nVISIO.EXE\r\nVISIO.HLP\r\nVISIOLIB.DLL\r\n\r\nSetup copies these import and export filter files to the Filters subdirectory:\r\nEBBMP9.FLT\r\nEBBMP9.INI\r\nEBPCX9.FLT\r\nEBPCX9.INI\r\nEBTIF9.FLT\r\nEBTIF9.INI\r\nEMCGM9.FLT\r\nEMCGM9.INI\r\nEMDXF9.FLT\r\nEMDXF9.INI\r\nEMPCT9.FLT\r\nEMPCT9.INI\r\nEMPS_9.FLT\r\nEMPS_9.INI\r\nIMCGM9.FLT\r\nIMCGM9.INI\r\nIMDXF9.FLT\r\nIMDXF9.INI\r\nIMPCT9.FLT\r\nIMPCT9.INI\r\nIMPS_9.FLT\r\nIMPS_9.INI\r\nIMWMF9.FLT\r\nIMWMF9.INI\r\nIRPCX9.FLT\r\nIRTIF9.FLT\r\nISGDI9.DLL\r\nISGDI9.INI\r\n\r\nSetup copies these sample drawing files, which use shapes from the stencils that come with Visio, to the Samples subdirectory:\r\nBLOCK.VSD\r\nFLOWCHRT.VSD\r\nNETWORK.VSD\r\nORGCHART.VSD\r\n\r\nSetup copies these template (.VST) and stencil (.VSS) files to the Template subdirectory:\r\nBASIC.VSS\r\nBASIC.VST\r\nBLOCK.VSS\r\nBLOCK.VST\r\nBORDER.VSS\r\nCALLOUT.VSS\r\nCHART.VSS\r\nCHART.VST\r\nCLIPART.VSS\r\nCONNECT.VSS\r\nEE_BASIC.VSS\r\nEE_BASIC.VST\r\nEUROPE.VSS\r\nFLOWCHRT.VSS\r\nFLOWCHRT.VST\r\nFORMS.VSS\r\nFORMS.VST\r\nMAP.VSS\r\nMAP.VST\r\nNETWORK.VSS\r\nNETWORK.VST\r\nORGCHART.VSS\r\nORGCHART.VST\r\nPRACTICE.VSS\r\nPRACTICE.VST\r\nPROJMGT.VSS\r\nPROJMGT.VST\r\nSPACEPLN.VSS\r\nSPACEPLN.VST\r\nSTATES.VSS\r\nSYMBOLS.VSS\r\nWORLD.VSS\r\n\r\nSetup copies these DLL files to the Windows System subdirectory:\r\nOLE2.DLL\r\nOLE2PROX.DLL\r\nOLE2DISP.DLL\r\nOLE2NLS.DLL\r\nCOMPOBJ.DLL\r\nSTORAGE.DLL\r\nOLE2.REG\r\nOLE2AUTO.REG\r\nVBRUN300.DLL\r\nVBOA300.DLL\r\n\r\nSetup copies this quick tour file to the Tutorial subdirectory:\r\nVISTUTOR.EXE\r\n\r\nSetup copies these files to the Add-ons subdirectory and to the Library and Stndoc subdirectories within the Add-ons subdirectory:\r\nVISCONST.BAS\r\nVISREG.BAS\r\nMAIN.BAS\r\nREPORT.FRM\r\nPROGRESS.FRM\r\nSTNDOC.VST\r\nSELSTENC.FRM\r\nSTNDOC.ICO\r\nSTNDOC.MAK\r\nINVNTRY.HLP\r\nINVNTRY.VSL\r\nSTNDOC.EXE\r\n\r\nThe Visio setup program also creates a Drawings subdirectory (a place to store your drawings).\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------\r\nVISIO AND OLE 2 DLL FILES\r\n-------------------------\r\nIf you have trouble running Visio, make sure all the OLE 2-related DLL files are installed and in the correct location. All of the following files must be installed in the Windows System subdirectory to run Visio:\r\n\r\nOLE2.DLL\r\nOLE2PROX.DLL\r\nOLE2DISP.DLL\r\nOLE2NLS.DLL\r\nCOMPOBJ.DLL\r\nSTORAGE.DLL\r\n\r\nIf any of these files are missing, reinstall Visio. If you're running Visio from a network server, see your system administrator.\r\n\r\nIf you have further trouble, make sure there is only one copy of these files on your hard disk in a location where Windows can find them. If you have multiple copies, either delete the extra copies or move them to a location where Windows can't find them. (Windows looks in your drive path, the application subdirectories, the Windows directory, and the Windows System subdirectory.)\r\n\r\n\r\n----------------------------------\r\nVISIO 2.0 AND WINDOWS REGISTRATION\r\n----------------------------------\r\nAt the end of the installation process, the Visio setup program displays a dialog box asking if you want to run Visio. To ensure that Visio is correctly registered in the Windows REG.DAT file (a file that contains information about the capabilities of each application), we recommend that you run Visio by choosing Run VISIO Now in the dialog box.\r\n\r\nIf you suspect that Visio is not properly registered (for example, if Windows displays an error message saying it cannot find the source application when you double-click an embedded Visio object in another application), you can force the registration process by choosing Run from the Windows Program Manager File menu and typing the Visio path followed by /r. For example:\r\n\r\n\tc:\\Visio\\visio.exe /r\r\n\r\nIf Visio displays error messages saying OLE2 and OLE2AUTO are improperly registered, you can register them manually by using the Microsoft Registration Information Editor. For details, see section A.2 in the NETWORK.TXT file installed in the Visio directory.\r\n\r\n\r\n-------------------------------------\r\nSCREEN IMAGES AND IMPORTED EPS FILES\r\n-------------------------------------\r\nEPS files have two parts: The PostScript code used to print the image and an optional screen image used to display the image on the screen. When exporting EPS files, most graphics applications either automatically include a screen image or give you the option to include one. If you are given the option and you plan to use the EPS file in a Visio drawing, you should include the screen image (which is sometimes referred to as the TIFF preview). Otherwise, the EPS image may not be correctly displayed in or printed from Visio.\r\n\r\n\r\n----------------------------------------\r\nDISPLAYING AND INSTALLING TRUETYPE FONTS\r\n----------------------------------------\r\nIf fonts in a dialog box don't display properly, check to see that TrueType fonts are installed in the Control Panel.\r\n\r\nTo check for TrueType fonts:\r\n1. Open the Main program group in the Windows Program Manager.\r\n2. Double-click the Control Panel icon.\r\n3. Double-click the Fonts icon.\r\n4. Make sure that (at a minimum) all the TrueType fonts that ship with the latest version of Windows appear in the list of installed fonts.\r\n\r\nTo add TrueType fonts:\r\n1. Choose the Add button.\r\n2. If no fonts are displayed, locate the Windows System subdirectory (from the Windows main directory). A list of TrueType fonts appears.\r\n3. Highlight the TrueType font(s) to be added and choose OK.\r\n\r\n\r\n------------------------\r\nATI ULTRA PRO VIDEO CARD\r\n------------------------\r\nWhen using the Ultra Pro/Mach 32 video card and the driver (dated April 1993) made by ATI Technologies, objects with fills may print as black. Version 2.0 of the driver solves this problem. To get the driver, call ATI Customer Support at 416-882-2626, or download a copy from CompuServe. (Type GO ATITECH at the ! prompt.)\r\n\r\n\r\n---------------------\r\nPRINTING ROTATED TEXT\r\n---------------------\r\nOn HP LaserJet III and other PCL printers, if rotated text does not print where you expect it to, try printing with Print TrueType as Graphics enabled. To enable this setting, choose Print Setup from the File menu, choose Options, make sure the Graphics Mode option is set to Raster, then check the Print TrueType as Graphics option. If this solves the problem, you may want to make this change permanently using the Windows Control Panel.\r\n\r\n\r\n--------------------------------------------------\r\nUSING THE MICROSOFT(R) WINDOWS(TM) PRINTING SYSTEM\r\n--------------------------------------------------\r\nIf you have trouble printing rotated text using the Microsoft\r\nWindows Printing System product, use Notepad or another text \r\neditor to add the following line to the [Application] section \r\nof your VISIO.INI file:\r\n\r\n TextBaselineAlignment=0\r\n\r\nUnless you are running VISIO over a network, the VISIO.INI file\r\ncan be found in the same directory as your VISIO.EXE file, usually\r\n\\VISIO. When running VISIO from the network, VISIO.INI is placed\r\nin your Windows directory, usually \\WINDOWS.\r\n\r\n\r\n---------------------------------------------------\r\nPRINTING ON HP LASERJET III and LASERJET 4 PRINTERS\r\n---------------------------------------------------\r\nIf you use an HP LaserJet III or 4, be sure to use the latest version of the printer driver from Microsoft or Hewlett-Packard. The original drivers released with Windows 3.1 were version 31.1.89 for LaserJet III and 31.1.03 for LaserJet 4. The current versions, as of this writing, are version 2.1 for the LaserJet III used with the Universal Printer driver version 3.1.2, and version 31.V1.20 for LaserJet 4.\r\n\r\nIf you receive Error 21 (Print Overrun) messages when you print to the HP LaserJet 4, try these workarounds:\r\n\r\n* Use the Windows Control Panel to verify that you are using the 31.V1.20 printer driver or later. Updates to the LaserJet 4 driver can be obtained in the CompuServe (HPPERI forum) or through HP.\r\n\r\n* Set the correct amount of printer memory in the Control Panel. Please refer to the printer documentation for information on how much memory you need.\r\n\r\n* Set the graphics mode to Raster rather than HP-GL/2. Although the HP-GL/2 mode is faster, often you can print more complicated pages using the Raster mode.\r\n\r\n* Try using the Page Protect feature for the paper size you're using. Please refer to the documentation that came with your printer for additional information on the Page Protect feature.\r\n\r\n* Try printing at 300 dpi rather than 600 dpi.\r\n\r\n* If none of the above options help, install the HP LaserJet III driver in addition to the HP LaserJet 4 driver. Use the HP LaserJet III driver to print at 300 dpi to the HP LaserJet 4 printer.\r\n\r\n\r\n--------------------------------------------\r\nPRINTING ON HP DESKJET 500C or 550C PRINTERS\r\n--------------------------------------------\r\nWhen you print in Color mode on an HP DeskJet 500C or 550C with a version 3.0 printer driver, TrueType text prints as long bands. To fix this problem, set your dithering to anything other than Standard (the default). To change this setting in Visio, choose Print Setup from the File menu, choose the DeskJet printer (if it is not already selected), choose Options, choose More, then choose any Dithering option but Standard. To make this change permanent, set it using the Windows Control Panel.\r\n\r\nNote that after you print using one of these printers, Visio is no longer the active application. To bring Visio back to the foreground, type Ctrl+Esc to open the Windows Task List dialog box, choose Visio from the applications list, and then choose Switch To to make Visio the active application.\r\n\r\nNote: Use the method described above to make Visio the active application. Do not double-click the Visio icon. Double-clicking the icon opens another instance of Visio.\r\n\r\n\r\n-----------------------------\r\nPRINTING FROM WORDPERFECT 5.2\r\n-----------------------------\r\nWhen you print a Visio drawing in WordPerfect, it might look significantly different from the way it looks when you print it in Visio. This might be related to the printer driver you are using with WordPerfect. Visio created your drawing with a reference to the printer driver selected in the Print Setup dialog box in Visio. To make the printed drawings look more similar, use the same printer driver in WordPerfect that you use with Visio.\r\n\r\nAlthough you may be printing to the same printer from both applications, in WordPerfect you have the option of using either the WordPerfect printer driver or the Windows printer driver. If you have been using the WordPerfect printer driver to print Visio drawings from WordPerfect, try choosing the Windows printer driver in the WordPerfect Select Printer dialog box.\r\n\r\n\r\n------------------------------------------\r\nZEOS 486-33 CPU & FLOATING POINT EXCEPTION\r\n------------------------------------------\r\nThe Award BIOS 3.10, 452-005-01, found in some ZEOS 486-33 machines (and possibly in other computer makes and models), does not handle floating point errors correctly. Floating point errors cause these machines to hang (stop responding). Floating point exceptions are most likely to result from using the Union or Fragment commands. If Visio displays an error message telling you that a floating point exception has occurred, try to save your work (if possible), then close Visio and Windows and restart your computer.\r\n\r\nTo correct this problem, you need an updated BIOS. ZEOS owners can contact ZEOS Technical Support at 612-633-7337 voice, 800-228-5390 toll-free, or 612-633-4607 FAX. Owners of other machines can contact the manufacturer of their machine. \r\n\r\n\r\n--------------------------------------------------------------\r\nUSING VISUAL BASIC'S OLE AUTOMATION FEATURES TO CONTROL VISIO\r\n--------------------------------------------------------------\r\nThe following information describes workarounds for problems we have found using the OLE Automation features of Visual Basic.\r\n\r\n1. Don't use complex expressions as parameters to methods. If you chain several methods together in an expression and then pass that expression as the parameter to another method call, Visual Basic allocates temporary storage for the expression and never releases it. If you do this enough times, Visual Basic eventually crashes. For example, the following code causes an Application Error in Visual Basic:\r\n\r\n\tDim visio As Object\t' Visio application object\r\n\tDim wins As Object\t' Window collection\r\n\r\n\tSet visio = GetObject( , \"visio.application\")\r\n\tSet wins = visio.Windows\r\n\tFor i = 1 To 1000\r\n\t\tk = wins.Item(wins.Count).Index\r\n\tNext\r\n\r\nTo work around the problem, replace the body of the loop with:\r\n\r\n\tFor i = 1 To 1000\r\n\t\tcnt = wins.Count\r\n\t\tk = wins.Item(cnt).Index\r\n\tNext\r\n\r\n2. You must use square brackets around the method names that conflict with Visual Basic keywords:\r\n\r\n\tArrange\r\n\tClose\r\n\tDelete\r\n\tPrint\r\n\r\nFor example,\r\n\r\n\tvisio.Windows.[Arrange]\r\n\r\nIf you don't use square brackets, Visual Basic displays the following message:\r\n\r\n\t\"Method not applicable for this object\"\r\n\r\n3. Visio generates unique run-time error codes for different types of OLE Automation errors. Visual Basic, however, ignores these error codes and converts them all to a generic OLE Automation error--Error 440. This is a Visual Basic 3.0 issue that should be resolved in the next release.\r\n\r\n4. Be careful when using default properties. Visual Basic calls the default property for an object even after an exception has occurred. This generally results in an Application Error in OLEDISP.DLL. For example, in some circumstances the following statement generates an Application Error:\r\n\r\n\tSet page = doc.Pages(1)\r\n\r\nIn this example, Item is the default property for collections. If calling the Pages method generates an exception for whatever reason, the previous statement will cause an Application Error.\r\n\r\nTo work around the problem, replace the previous statement with:\r\n\r\n\tSet page = doc.Pages.Item(1)" }
