Visio 2003 opening 2000/2002 based files

[Jon Damm]

I have been searching, but unable to find a solution to this issue, which I
would think others should be having. We have a split mix of Visio 2002 and
Visio 2003 in our enterprise. When trying to open a Visio 2002 document in
Visio 2003, we often run into an error message stating "Unexpected end of
File".

Is there a fix?

Thanks for any help.

That does not sound good. If you'd like to send one of these documents to
me for investigation, feel free. (Remove "online" from my e-mail address.)

I found the issue with some hidden objects within the Visio 2002 file. Not
sure how they got there, but I could recreate the error in Visio 2002 by
doing a select all, and trying to copy the data to a new file. Upon hitting
copy I got the error for Unexpected End Of File. The solution was to select
all of the valid data and paste it into a new file. Screwy issue. Mark,
I'll send you one of the files so you can take a look.
