Printing Database Field Notes

[sbaxter]

I know this is a printing question, but it really applies
to the database modeling portion of Visio. How the heck
can I print the notes that I add to my logical database
designs in Visio

The database modeling reporting feature is available only in the enterprise editions of Visio: Visio2000 Enterprise Edition and Visual
Studio .Net for Enterprise Architects.

It is not possible to customize the diagram such that the notes of each column are displayed.

To modify how the tables print, you can export a report to RTF and open the resultant RTF file in Microsoft Word, WordPad or some
other RTF editor. You can then modify the file as you would any other word processing document.

To export to RTF,
1. Select "Database > Report..." from the main menu.
2. Select the Table Report and click the Finish button.
3. Click on the "Export to RTF" button.

My question is very similar - I have notes for nearly every column in my
database design, and I'd not only like them to print, but to display in
Visio when I am designing the database. Is it possible to change how the
entities (tables) display and print?

I am using Microsoft Visio for Enterprise Architects.
