SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office Visio 2003, when you save a Microsoft Visio drawing that contains Oval callout shapes and Circle callout shapes in CAD format (.dwg file ), and then you convert the drawing to Visio format, you may find that text in the shapes does not appear correctly. For example, the text may appear rotated from its original position, or size may have changed.



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you create a drawing in Visio, convert the drawing to a .dwg file, and then convert the .dwg file back into a Visio drawing.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, save the drawing in Visio format before you save it as a .dwg file.



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.
