SYMPTOMS
You export a shape as a Windows Metafile Format (WMF) file or as an Enhanced Metafile Format (EMF) file. Then, you insert that file into a Microsoft Office Visio drawing. When you do this, the bounding box of the shape becomes larger than the original shape. Additionally, you may experience the following symptoms:
 * If you ungroup the WMF or EMF shape, the shape does not have the same size of the original shape.
 * If the WMF or EMF shape contains text, the font size changes when you ungroup the shape.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, follow these steps:
 * 1) Click the ungrouped shape.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Size & Position Window.
 * 3) Adjust the width and height to resize the shape.
 * 4) Select the text of the ungrouped shape.
 * 5) In the Font Size list, select the font size.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
