Dear lazyweb,
We have a .vsd file that gives the following error when opening it
with Internet Explorer / Visio viewer:
The Microsoft Office Visio Viewer was not able to complete the
operation.
Other visio files don't give the error.
The file opens in Visio. I can see that the .vsd file also opens
two .vss files. I can see that in the Window menu.
I googled and found out that .vss are "stencil" files - are these
embedded inside a .vsd file??
One of the .vss files is probably a "visio default" file, the other is
most certainly created here on site, judging by the filename.
My theory is that there is something "special" with the .vss file.
This prevents Visio viewer from correctly opening the .vsd file. But I
never use Visio, I don't know anything about it. I only have to give
technical support on it. The people that use it probably know it
better than I do.
Am I on the right track with my theory or is something else going on?
