SYMPTOMS
Although a Microsoft Visio template opens as expected when you attempt to open it from outside the Visio user interface (UI) (for example, if you open the file from Windows Explorer), the stencil associated with that template may be missing from the drawing page.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if the stencil associated with the template is deleted from your hard disk. When the template is opened from outside the Visio UI, the Detect and Repair command does not start automatically to detect and replace the missing file or files associated with the template.



RESOLUTION
To work around this issue, run the Detect and Repair command to detect and replace the missing file or files, and then restart Visio. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Start Visio.
 * 2) On the Help menu, click Detect and Repair.
 * 3) In the Detect and Repair dialog box, click OK.NOTE: If the Detect and Repair command does not detect and replace the missing file or files, you may need to reinstall Visio.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
