Default 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
