disappearing text...
Sometimes, when I am editing an organizational chart in Visio 2003, I will
make changes in a text box within a shape, and when I am done and I click on "save" or change to the pointer (from text) or click outside the text box, all my changes disappear. I have not been able to figure out why this happens or how to prevent it. Has anyone here experienced this problem? Any insights? Thanks! |

What sort of changes?
If you are using the Organization Chart add-in, then you should really be editing data using the Custom Properties window because the text in the shape is linked to these values.

Here's an example: Inside the shape, there was a bold, underlined heading
and a list of employees under the heading in regular type. I made changes to the list - deleted some employees, added others, corrected spellings. When I clicked outside the box, everything except the heading disappeared. Also, there was another time when I tried to bold and underline a heading, but instead bolded and underlined everything in the box. It seems like sometimes text behaves the same as in Word or Excel and other times Visio is a world unto itself. Thank you for replying. "David J Parker [MVP Visio]" wrote: What sort of changes?
