Default Is it possible to show shape data next to the object?

I created a network diagram with Visio 2007, now I want to add IP address and
model information to my diagram. I added this information to shape data, but
how can make this data appear on the diagram?

Thanks Al for you response.

Unfortunately, I don't have "Edit Data Graphic" when I right-click on the
shape.

Do you have Visio 2007 Std? Data Graphics are part of Visio 2007 Pro.

Under Help/About it just says MS Office Visio 2007. How would I know if it
is Standard or Pro?

I do have that file in Office 12, and I checked the build number, which
indicates that I have commercial license, not sure if it makes it another
flavor of Visio.

If the Dll is there, then you have Visio Pro. Currently there are two
flavours of Visio, Standard and Pro.

Then, it is very strange that I do not have the option to add data graphic.

I ran the Visio setup again and enabled all components. Still no luck to
fix this problem.

The DATA menu has only 3 items SHAPE DATA, INSERT DATA SOLUTIONS and REPORTS.

Select a shape, Select Shape Data window from the View menu, right click the
Shape Data window. Choose Display Data on Shapes

This option is not there. It really frustrates me that MS stripped such a
necessary feature. Is there a plugin that provides similar option or an
alternative diagramming software?

Found original installation package. It is a standard version. So, that
"fixes" my problem.

Thanks everyone.

Hey John --

Must be some other criteria for Std vs Pro. I have the indicated dll file,
but I'm only running the Std version.
