Issue that the hotfix package fixes

 * You use a custom solution that was created in Microsoft Visual Basic 6 to update the shapes in a Visio 2003 drawing. When you run the custom solution, memory usage may unexpectedly increase.


 * Consider the following scenario. You install a Microsoft Office 2003 Multilingual User Interface Pack (MUI) on a computer that is running Visio 2003. You save a Visio 2003 drawing as a Windows Metafile (.wmf) file. You then insert the .wmf file that you saved into a Visio 2003 drawing.

In this scenario, text that is contained in the inserted .wmf file is compressed.
