Multiple shapes text editing
I am using Visio to create web wireframes for functional specifications. Each
shape is a form element with an Id (eg ED.RO-1, ED.RO-2) and name (eg SRCABN-LNK). If I insert (or forget!) an element which should go between ED.RO-1 and ED.RO-2, I then need to renumber ED.RO-2 onwards. As a form may have quite a few elements on it, this can be quite time consuming as I need to double click each shape and retype part of the text. Is there an easier way to change the text in a lot of shapes? (One approach that seems intuitive to me is to be able to dump a 'property sheet' which contained all the Visio information to a text file. I could then use my text editor to change all these elements a lot quicker.) |
