How To Set Every Text Box To 125% of its text width?
I am using Visio 2003 Std.
In Visio, I was using the ShapeSheet and using Insert Menu to select Text Transform. I was not able to select Text Transform until there was a text box on my template. What did I do wrong ?? There was an article aa200988 by msdn that indicated setting the txtWidth = Max(TextWidth(theText),8*Char.Size). I was going to change the 8 to 10 to just give me more textwidth so that when I resize, text wrap around would not happen. I like a way to set all my text to have a percentage text width wider that is based on the number of text characters. Can some one help show me how to do this ??? I tried and failed. Is there a way to do this with an existing Visio drawing too ???? Thanks, G |

How To Set Every Text Box To 125% of its text width?
The suggestion does work for the select text box !!!
When I add a new text box, the default width is just over 2 inches wide. When I select that text box, and check on the Text Transform, the width is still the degault from MS Visio. Once I change it to = Width * 1.25, it works. Is there a way when I place a text box on my drawing, that after entering text, it gets resize to 1.25 of the width ???? I seems that I will need to select all of the text to do this ??? Will this process work for old drawings ???

There is a way to do this for all your old drawings. It involves downloading and installing some software from my website. You may like it so much that... http://www.sandrila.co.uk/visio-utilities/ and look at menu SuperUtils - Shape - Shape substitute It can replace all your old text boxes with your shiny new shape in just a few seconds per diagram.
