Default How do I display a transition name in a Visio UML diagram?

Visio supports UML diagrams, including state machine diagrams. One of the
elements in this diagram is a "transition," which is basically a glorified
arrow. One attribute of this arrow is its name. Displaying this in the
diagram is key to understanding it.
1. Does anyone know if it's possible to have Visio display the name?
2. Does anyone have experience with the UML2 stencils from Sandrila?

Thanks!

Double-click the transition, click the events button and add a new
event, then select that event in the drop-down list..

I'm always here to help with any questions you may ask.

Thank you, Paul! This works great, and I never would have found it on my own.
Best,
Bob
