Shape Data_Callout_Text_Resizing
Hi All
Another text sizing issue I'm afraid but I think this may be a new one. I have a basic rectangle with 5-off callouts and 3-off headings associated with it using Shape Data. I have used the following formula in Shape Sheet / Character Size: =CEILING(6*MAX(Width,Height),2)*1 pt To resize text as I resize shape... Results: Text in headings resizes Label from callout resizes Value from callout does not resize Any ideas? Other info: Visio 2007 Values are numeric: general numbers or percentages Headings are text strings Regards, Danny |

Hi Thanks for the quick response, I've spent a few hours trawling through
both sites that you recommended and I found a lot of good information unfortunately nothing that will help me with this current situation.

Shape Data_Callout_Text_Resizing
So far, based upon your info, that ought to work. How are you making the
text, label, and value visible in the shape? Is there any grouping or somehow the value is handled differently?

Shape Data_Callout_Text_Resizing
Hi Wapper
I created a single rectangle Right click rectangle, Data, Shape Data Message: No Shape Data exists. Do you want to define shape data now? Yes I created 8 Labels using the Define Shape Data "Wizard" Right Click Shape, Data, Edit Data Graphic, New Item, Text Created 8 new text items, 3-off Headings, 5-off Call Outs Positioned the items on or beneath the original rectangle Added 3 other shapes to the rectangle (no grouping) Created a master shape and copied the whole thing to master shape Dragged shape into drawing Enlarged shape, text did not resize Copied formula into Shape Sheet for master shape Dragged new shape into drawing, all text re-sized apart from the values in the callout. I really can't see what I've done wrong or what to change. "WapperDude" wrote: So far, based upon your info, that ought to work. How are you making the text, label, and value visible in the shape?
