Locating Visio 2003 Addons

I'm new to Visio 2003. I want to make use of the solution suggested for
"Automatically Setting Shape Color By Data Values In Visio Diagrams"
seen in Visio Help.

The solution makes reference to an addon 'Building Plan' to give access to
the 'Color By Values' functionality.

When I look at Tools>Add-Ons I only see
"Organization Chart" and "Visio Extras" ... no sign of "Building Plans"

Do I have to download the add-on from somehwhere?
Should I be able to find it on my Visio software disk?

Thanks

I have Standard edition Visio 2003.
The article I saw was at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/assistance/HA010779991033.aspx
and said it applied to Visio 2003 (no mention of 'flavour').
I'm a little confused, the article refers to an 'add on', your post refers
to 'templates' are they teh same thing?

Summarising, if I only have access to Visio 2003, does that mean I can't use
the 'building plans' add on suggested in the office.microsoft.com article?

Thanks

the 'addon' or smart template for building plans is a professional version
feature....

Thanks Al,
I have to say I feel rather frustrated that the help facility in my
'standard' version offers me help which is not clearly marked as being for a
different version of the software. This has not only involved me in some
wasted time but has also used some time from John and yourself (at least).
Thanks for your help, maybe MS will think about marking 'Pro only' solutions
as such in their help files and publications.
