How do I save a Visio 2003 template to a specific category?

[reichjj]

I've created a new templated in Visio 2003 and would like to save it to one
of the predefined categories. In Visio 2002 this was simple to do by saving
it to the correct directory (c:\Program Files\Microsoft
Office\Visio10\1033\Solutions\[Category]). However in Visio 2003 the
directory structure has changed and categorizing a file this way is no longer
possible. Can new templates be saved to a particular category? If so, how?

In Visio 2003 you have 2 choices:
1. The preferred new way is to create an installation package (msi) file,
and use the Visio Publishing Tool available in the Visio SDK
2. Tools / Options / Advanced / File Paths returns you to familiar territory
.... use full file paths to a folder, leaving a sub-folder as the category
name with the templates & stencils in it.
