How do I eliminat "Cross-functional flowchart dialog box" ..

Searched high and low. Never solved it. Still bugs me everytime I open the
document. Since the document is large, I can't hope to copy all that
information into a new one. If you do find an answer, do let me know

Try the following:

1. Tools>Add-ons>Run Add-on
2. Select "Persist Events..."
3. Delete all of the items in the dialog.
4. Click OK and re-open.

You may need the SDK installed to have that Add-on available. If you don't
and you don't want to install it, the other option is to save the file as
vdx, then search for and delete the EventItem elements that have a target of
"CFF"

The first option didn't work. I couldnt find "Persist Events..." when I went
to Tools>Add-ons>Run Add-on.

The second option worked. I removed four entries which contained "CFF". The
first two within <Events> .... </Events> and the last two within <EventsList>
.... </EventsList>. I hope that is correct.

Can someone explain what "<Events>" is and how I can get to it? This dialog
box is really annoying.

Two solutions are described. First, if you download and install the Visio
SDK there is a Persist Events utility that allows you to remove the CFF
add-on from the document. Second, if you save your document as Visio XML
Drawing (VDX) you can manually edit the file in a text editor. At the very
end of the document is a set of XML tags called Events that you can clear
the contents of.

The first option didn't work. So I am on to the second. I have saved the
document as a vdx file. How do I manuall edit the file in a text folder?
