Issues that are fixed in the hotfix package
 When you print a drawing in Visio 2003 to a PostScript printer at 1200 dots-per-inch (DPI), you may experience one of the following problems:  Bullets are not printed in the correct position and are the wrong size. Rotated text may print partially off the page and are the wrong size. Transparent text may print partially off the page and is the wrong size.  When you run a custom program that uses managed code with a Datagrid control in Visio 2003, you may receive an exception error message.

Note Managed code is programming code that is executed by the common language runtime environment instead of directly by the operating system. If you are using Visio 2003 on a computer that also has Microsoft Office 2003 installed, you can resolve this issue by installing the hotfix that is discussed in the following Microsoft Knowledge base article:
