Restore Visio 2003 Stencils

[assyrian47]

I have lost some of the "standard" stencils that are installed with Visio
2003. Custom stencils I have made are still available under "My Stencils".
As an example when I click on the stencil icon in the tools bar and move the
cursor to the Map or Organization Chart or Process Engineering I only get a
small grey empty box. Normally the various stencils in that folder would be
listed.

Are they supposed to be in the Program Files>>Microsoft Office>>Viso
11>>1033 folder. Becuase I have checked an the .vss. and .vst files are there

How can I restore them to normal.

If the files are still on the system, possibly the setup has been changed
(tools=>options=>advanced=> file paths

Thanks, To be very specific one should clear the contents of the file paths
for the templates: and the stencils: entry unless one did not follow a
standard installation.
Of course your caveat "if the files are on the system" is key. If any one
else hase this problem go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Visio11\1033 and look for the .vs* files.

Once I removed the entries the problems were solved.
