    <p>There are several options you can explore:</p> <h1>1. Use the Built in Searching Capabilities in Windows</h1> <p>This requires having an IFilter that can index the Visio format for you. The link below is a IFilter provided by Microsoft.</p> <p><a href="http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=dcee9e09-448b-4386-b901-efea29cac808&amp;DisplayLang=en" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Visio IFilter 2003 Add-in: Text Search in Visio Files</a></p> <p>Comments</p> <ul> <li>Requires no coding</li> <li>Should have good integration with the desktop search feature (I have not verified this)</li> <li>The searching feature is driven by the IFilter implementation. It may not index what want.</li> </ul> <p>DISCLAIMER: I have never installed the IFilter so I cannot comment on how well it works. </p> <h1>2. Getting the clear text using the Visio object model (as answered by M.A. Hanin)</h1> <p>If all you need is the plain text of shapes this is very straightforward. If you need to get text from things like custom properties, then it will be a little more complex. If you go down this path I built a library to assist in using the Visio <em>2007</em> object model easier - look for a project called <a href="http://visioautomation.codeplex.com/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">VisioAutomation on Codeplex.com</a></p> <p>Comments</p> <ul> <li>Requires coding and knowledge of Visio Object Model (will not be too complicated)</li> <li>If you really have thousands of files, this may take a while .</li> </ul> <h1>3. Getting the clear text using VDX Files</h1> <p>This technique means keeping (or converting) the visio files as VDX files which is an XML format. You can easily get the plain text from the XML.</p> <p>Comments</p> <ul> <li>Requires coding and very little knowledge of Visio Object Model (to perform the export) </li> <li>mostly the work will involve XML coding</li> <li>If you really have thousands of files, generating VDX files can take a while. </li> </ul> <p>I have experience working with th VDX format directly - it is very easy to write code to process it. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
