FM 7.1 Compatibility

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Strange.

I find importing Visio files as OLE objects (from Visio 2000 to FM 7.2) 
to work just fine. When I try to File>Insert>File (by reference) it 
doesn't recognize the Visio file format, and Visio is not in the list. 
Perhaps my version of Visio is too old.

Regards,
