SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Visio 2007 or in Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you point to Picture on the Insert menu, you may find that the Word Art command is listed on the submenu that appears, even though Visio does not support the WordArt Gallery.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when both of the following conditions are true:
 * The Choose Drawing Type and New Drawing task panes are displayed in Visio.
 * No drawings are open in Visio. That is, a drawing page is not displayed.

In this situation, when you point to Picture on the Insert menu, the Word Art command is listed on the submenu that appears.



WORKAROUND
The symptoms that are described in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section of this article do not affect the functionality of Visio. You can ignore the Word Art command that is listed on the submenu that appears when you point to Picture on the Insert menu.

Note that although the Word Art command is listed on the submenu, the command is unavailable (appears dimmed). You cannot click the command to run it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.
