Desk with Drawers - Looking for old Visio 6.x Shapes

[Carlos G]

I have an ancient Visio drawing that has some desk shapes with a neat
feature. You can change the size of the desk, but also of its drawers.
The shape can be changed to shop drawer clearance, much like the
filing cabinet that comes with Visio 2003.

It appears that those desk shapes were lost when Visio became part of
Microsoft. Any ideas where I may be able to get them?

Thanks,
Carlos

When you drag a shape from a stencil to a drawing, the drawing contains a
local stencil. So if you have these shapes in an existing drawing, you can
recreate a stencil of these shapes.

Thanks,
At least that will give me the shapes that made it to the drawing. I
wonder what others I may be missing. Maybe it's time to spring for a used
copy of Visio 5. Sigh. I love upgrades that loose features.

What are the names of the shapes you have? I'm just curious as to which
stencil they were in.

The shape names are "Desk - 1 drawer" and "Desk - 2 drawer" They appear
to have a help file associated with them named spacepln.hlp.
