We have generated UML diagram programmatically in java and it works fine with visio 2003 and 2010. But when we try to open the same file on visio 2013, we see below error.
This UML Model Diagram was created with a feature that is not supported in this version of Visio
If we do save as of same file from visio 2010 and open it in visio 2013, we dont see any issue. When I tried to compare the XML content of both, original and saved as version, there are some differences but I couldnt find the root cause of the issue.
Plesae suggest on how to proceed with this debugging. Any help in identifying the root cause and fix would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Does anyone know if a tool exists that lets you inspect Office Open XML (e.g., a Microsoft Word .docx file) in the same manner that Chrome lets you view the fully rendered web page alongside the underlying element structure and interact with it in real-time?
I am working on a project where I need to be able to do some fairly fine-tuned, programmatic manipulation of docx files. Having such a tool would really help provide a better understanding of the Office Open XML spec and its behavior.
Kind regards.
I am a contributor on a new VS Code extension that can modify OOXML parts and get diffs of the xml when there are changes from outside e.g. Word edits a document in real time the way you describe. You can get it on the VS Code Marketplace:
OOXML Viewer
And review the code on GitHub:
OOXML Viewer Repo
I am not aware of a convenient tool like that. It should be relatively easy to make an Add-in that gets the relevant OOXML from the document selection, but I couldn't find anything on the Office Add-ins Store, or Script Lab samples/snippets. (The closest I could find, might be this Web Add-in sample app).
With the Open XML SDK Productivity Tool, you can also modify document and use the Compare Files feature to see the changes in the OOXML, and the code needed to reproduce them.
There are few more tools for Visual Studio and Chrome mentioned on Eric White's Blog:
Open XML Package Editor Power Tool for Visual Studio
OOXML Tools Extension for Chrome
For a class I am in, I need to create an ERD in Visio, using Crow's Foot notation. This is all fine, and works well enough. However, now I need also model a supertype (and eventually a subtype). This functionality, if it exists in Visio 2013, seems hidden. Has anyone been able to do this? My friend Google was not very helpful, as every tutorial for this seems to be in Visio 2010.
This feature was discontinued in the 2013 version, unfortunately. Visio 2010 is the only one that has it.
I know that Docx4j supported repeating content in Content Controls in Word already before Microsoft did. (With the help of OpenDoPE and it's Word Add-In).
However, starting with Word 2013, the Repeating section content control is built-in. I cannot find wether Docx4j will evaluate this new content control correctly. Does anyone know? Or should I just try?
Thanks,
Christiaan
docx4j 2.8.1 won't evaluate it, and nor does the current source code on GitHub.
Worse, docx4j 2.8.1 will drop that element during JAXB unmarshalling, consistent with the Ignorable attribute, since http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/word/2012/wordml is not included in the JAXB content.
GitHub master (from 11 July 2013) will retain this element (and other important Word 2010 & 2013 extensions), as will docx4j 3.0, when released.
I'm working in an Excel add-in. I want to add its own help. I don't care if it replaces the general Excel help - I want to know how.
What I was able to was to add custom help into VS 2010, using the Help Viewer. Does this work for office?
Also, if I had to add a button on the ribbon for the add-in, is there a way to make the information displayed online? I don't like including a file with the installer.
Thanks a lot, guys!!!
Excel's Help System is the Help 2.x System, which is different to the VS Help Viewer, a new Help System that will be included in new Microsoft applications.
To add help into the Help 2.x System in general you can use its plug-in mechanisms.
Finally, there is no way to make that help online. The help file must always be included with the add-in installer.

Visual Studio 2010 has this feature called Directed Graph Documents (files with a dgml extension). It can be used to show relationships between objects similar to UML. I was able to play with it during the VS2010 beta. The version I now have (VS2010 pro) doesn't have this functionality and I don't have access to the Ultimate or Architect versions.
Is there a similar XML based directed graph technology you can recommend?
Five months without an answer, so I guess the answer as of now is...
No, there are no tools other than Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate or Architect that can work with Directed Graph Documents. VS2010 Premium can read dgml documents, but not edit them.
