How can I move boxes ("processes") and comments simultaneously?
Hi, I would like to move both boxes ("processes") and comments which refer to
them (which I placed next to it) in one go. I tried to mark everything and then move, but it does not move the comments with it. Is there a way to do it? Thank you! |

These comments (or Annotations as they are called) are not normal Visio shapes. These annotations are part of the page structure. Click on the page so no shape is selected, then menu Window - Show Shapesheet. This will give the page shapesheet. You will see a section called Annotations, this includes the X/Y coordinates of the items. If you know approximately how far you've moved the main shapes then maybe you could adjust these X/Y coordinates by an equivalent amount. A macro could even be written to do so! You would have to find some way of specifying which annotations to move as there is no other way to select which ones you want to be moved. -- Regards, Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd.

Indeed a macro can be written to fix the XY co-ordinates to be pinned to the
PinX and PinY of their associated shapes ... thus moving with them automatically..... "Paul Herber" wrote in message ani.net...
