visio for enterprise architects

I can not edit the field description in some of my documents in Microsoft
Visio for Enterprise Architects. I am using a UML model.

Someone could help me?

Are there plans to either allow VEA for 2003 to point to 2008 projects or
produce a VEA 2007 for VS2008?

Barb,

Is there an official announcement of this depreciation?
Can we have the Database Reports and Forward Engineering put back into
Professional then?

edit, and then generate Databases?

Should we assume that Microsoft is getting out if the Database Schema
