SYMPTOMS
When you use the English version of Microsoft Office Visio 2007 or of Microsoft Office Visio 2003 to create an organization chart by using the Organization Chart Wizard and you use a Japanese language source file (Microsoft Excel spreadsheet or text file), when you view the custom properties of the shapes in the completed drawing, you notice that there are duplicate field names with the same field name appearing in both Japanese and English. Also, the English-named fields are not valid, as they contain a copy of the field name in the value field.



CAUSE
The English properties are part of the Visio masters, and are always present in the English version of Visio when you use the Organization Chart Wizard. The wizard matches properties by name by using a simple text comparison. Because the wizard cannot equate Japanese words with English words, any English custom property fields that are part of the masters appear in the custom properties. The Name and Title English-name fields will always appear, even if they are not in the masters.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior does not occur in Microsoft Visio 2002.
