Exporting different customer shapes in Visio 2003

[P Boric]

I want to export custom properties in Visio 2003 from different shapes, to
the same Excel worksheet. Each shape has different quantity of custom
properties or fields, but some of them are common to all the shapes (for
instance brand field, model field), and others fields are just exclusive of
specific shapes (for instance one shape has a power field, and another one
has a frequency field).
I can't manage exporting all the fields in the same worksheet without
overlapping them. What I get in the worksheet is the shapes in rows and the
fields in columns, but for the first shape a specific column represents one
field (lets say power field), and for other shape the same column has a
different meaning (for instance frequency field)
Is it possible to arrange all the shapes and fields in the same worksheet?

This is not the same situation in my testing. If I have three shapes on
the page, one with no properties, one with 3 properties, and one with 10
different properties, I get everything in the output. I tested this in
both Visio 2007 and 2003 (SP3), and I see the same results.

One note - I selected all of the desired shapes before launching the Export
to Database function. If I try to run the function without any shapes
selected, I don't get any of the properties at all.
