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 ??


You can't select it if it isn't there! If it isn't there then add it. menu Insert -
Section


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.


try something like
txtWidth = Width * 1.25
