In second sentence, change "clear the Select Shapes Partially..." to "select the Select Shapes Partially..."

replace "Click the rightmost theme" with "Click the Apex colors theme"

Replace paragraph immediately before CLEAN UP with The shapes to which you manually applied a fill color in steps 1, 2 and 3 will still have a fill color after you select No Themes. The text block will retain its Standard Color. The org chart shapes will contain fill colors from the diagram's default color palette."

Replace second sentence of Tip with "Be sure that the entry you type exactly matches a list item in the Format field, including upper and lower case letters."

In this tip it says for Excel, "it is not even necessary to save the chages you've made; Visio will read the current data in the linked sheet." However, whenever I try this, like using Scheduling Data Refresh (196 to 197) The Visio diagram does not update unless the Excel spreadsheet has been saved first. I cannot get it to update otherwise. Thank you.

Note from the Author or Editor:
Strike the second sentence in the first paragraph of the tip, leaving just one sentence in the first paragraph.
