am using Visio to store asset information for media content. I have
developed my own masters. I have entered all my custom properties'
information. I generated a report of the custom properties' information,
added information in the Excel report, and then reimported the data. All was
well. The data I updated quickly in Excel now shows in Visio!

However, if I close the Visio file, once I reopen it, most of my custom
properties are gone or changed.

I'm using the add-on "Number Shapes" to generate a reference id for each
shape-represented-asset. One time, it renumbered them all to 11. In this last
attempt, it simply erased all of the custom properties but two.

Help!
