Detail Page actions are gone...

[Luis.PT]

Hi

I use Data Flow Diagrams regularly to draw Top-Down processes

I noticed recently that the add detail page option I use ti see when right
clicking a process is not displayed as it used.

It's the first time I'm using Visio.2003 (SP2) to draw this diagrams using
gane-sarson stencil.

Strangely, when I open a Visio previous version diagram, the option is
displayed when I right click a process and in Shape menu (Shape > Action >
New Detail Page), but is doesn't work.

Any light on this?

Thanks in advance.

This functionality was removed from Visio 2003. The Data Flow Diagrams do
not have any special behavior now.

Hi Mark
Thank you for your answer

You must admit that is very strange to have a functionality and 'loose it
after upgrade', but who am I to question Visio deployment roadmap...

Can you advise me on any work around for this?
Imagine yourself explaining to a customer that a few hundred Top-Down
diagrams have suddenly gone static, though the functionality is still
referred at the Office Online help?

I'll be waiting for good news.
