256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows registry



SYMPTOMS
When you rotate a Microsoft Office Word object that is embedded in a Microsoft Office Visio drawing, the text appears only when the rotation is at 90, 180, or 270 degrees. Otherwise, the text disappears until you rotate the object to one of these settings or restore it to the original position.



To work around this problem, follow these steps.

Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own risk.  Start Visio. On the Tools menu, click Options. On the Advanced tab, click to select the Put all settings in Windows registry check box, and then click OK. On the File menu, click Exit to quit Visio, and then restart your computer. Click Start, and then click Run. In the Run dialog box, type regedit, and then click OK. In Registry Editor, locate and then select the following registry entry:

2002

2003

2007

</li> On the Edit menu, click Modify.</li> In the Edit String dialog box, under Value data, type 240075, and then click OK.</li> Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the following registry entry:

2002

2003

2007

Note  is a placeholder for your logon SIDKEY. The SIDKEY resembles the following:

S-1-5-21-2127521184-1604012920-1887927527-541443

To determine the correct SIDKEY for your login, look in the  subkey of the keys that are located in. If the value of  subkey contains your logon name, its corresponding key is your SIDKEY.</li> In Registry Editor, locate and then select the following registry entry:

2002

2003

2007

</li> On the Edit menu, click Modify.</li> In the Edit String dialog box, under Value data, type 10000, and then click OK.</li> Repeat steps 7 through 9 for the following registry entry:

2002

2003

2007

</li> On the File menu, click Exit.</li> Restart your computer.</li></ol>

Note This workaround may cause the text to lose its formatting and spacing if the Word object is rotated, except at 90 degrees, 180 degrees, and 270 degrees.
