Make Columns in a Text Box?
Visio 2002
Is there any way to make columns in a text box so that when type fills down one column of the box it automatically starts at the top of the next column. This seems like a simple thing but I have not been able to figure out how to do this |-----------------|-------------------| text text text text text text text text text ------------------------------------- If there is no straightforward way would anyone know where I could get the VBA code to do this? Thanks. Les |

you might be able to do something like that within vba and assigning it to a
control such as the listview control? Al "Les Coover" wrote in message news:aMK7d.5819$Tj.4440@okepread02...

Thanks Al
I have not used VBA in Visio before so this is new to me. Perhaps there is some kind of add-in that I could get to accomplish what I want to do. If not perhaps someone could give me some help with using VBA in Visio. In MS Access to attach code to an object I usually go to the properties event section to start the code. I could not find anything like this in Visio, so I am not sure how I would attach code to an object. I am using a Forms Shape, Table with 2 columns. It seems that I need to create an event where the active column is passed from column 1 to column 2 when the length of text reaches a maximum. Any help appreciated.
