Cannot open embedded Visio file in Word using Visio viewer

Asked by fourjohn in Microsoft Visio, Microsoft Word

Tags: Microsoft, Office, 2007, embedded Visio file in Word

I'm running Office 2007 Professional Plus.  I received a Word document that contains embedded DWG and Visio (VSD) files.  I can double-click the DWG files and they open fine using my copy of AutoCAD.  I do not have Visio installed, but instead I have the Visio 2007 Viewer with SP1 installed.  When I double-click the embedded VSD file I get an error saying:

"The server application, source file, or item cannot be found. Make sure the application is properly installed, and that it has not been deleted, moved, or renamed."

I can open standalone VSD files just fine.  I have done a repair installation of my Office suite, but it didn't help.  

I know the entire Visio file is embedded in the Word document and not just a link to an external source.  How can I open Visio files embedded in a Word document without having to purchase and install the full Visio program?Start Free Trial
