Does anyone know how to make the screen tip box in Visio larger? It says I
should be able to enter a comment of any length and then cuts half off it off.

Thanks

Hmm. No idea how to make it bigger. Looks like a bug in either functionality
or documentation.

I entered your text message twice, without returns and it cut off he

....which happens to be 255 characters, which sounds like something a
developer would do on purpose.

Last guess: are you talking about shape tooltips or markup comments. Between
Visio 2002 and 2003, they added the markup feature and redefined the word
Comment.

In 2002, a Comment was a "tooltip" for a shape. Now a Comment for the
editing markup, and a shape tooltip is called a "Screen Tip"
