How to read newer versions of visio documents using a lower versio

[Wendy]

Hi,

I'm trying to read a document that's created in visio 2003 using my visio
2002. Is there any way I can read this document without purchasing the 2003
software?

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards,

Wendy

You can download the Visio 2003 Viewer from the Microsoft website.

Thanks Mark,

I tried that but because I already have visio 2002 installed, installing
visio 2003 doesn't seem to work as when I open the document, it automatically
brings up visio 2002 and there is no where I can find visio 2003 viewer.

Regards,

Wendy
