SYMPTOMS
After you save a Microsoft Office Visio 2003 drawing (*.vsd) that contains specific shapes as a Web page, any of the following symptoms may occur when you open the drawing in Microsoft Internet Explorer:
 * The ToolTip does not appear when you hover your mouse over the shape.
 * When you click the shape while holding the CTRL key, the custom properties do not appear for the shape in the Navigation frame.



CAUSE
This issue may occur if you use shapes that are from the following specific Visio stencils:
 * Furniture
 * User-created symbol shapes



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, create a new stencil that contains shapes that are less complex. For example, use a simple rectangle instead of using spline curves.
