I'm using Visio 2003 and I want to know how I can edit the text box
for the rev., date, & desc. Once you enter text, you can't edit it.
You can only type over. I have seen something once before about
copying and then doing something with these types of shapes to unlock
the protection but I can't find it.

Click with the mouse until the appropriate part of the shape is
selected then use the TextTool
