Using Lock Aspect Ratio & Front wraps Issue
I am using Visio 2003 Std.
I have manually set the Lock Aspect Ratio for a drawing so I can scale it in proportion. The drawing seems to scaling correctly, but my text starts to wrap around. Is there a way to scale the drawing completely without the text wrapping around?? I also tried it with out the Lock Aspect Ratio and the same thing happens. Thanks, G |

Using Lock Aspect Ratio & Front wraps Issue
Text doesn't automatically scale with shape size. It's a behavior you have
to control from within the shapesheet. See this link to control text behavior: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.10).aspx HTH Wapperdude "Gary" wrote: I am using Visio 2003 Std.

Using Lock Aspect Ratio & Front wraps Issue
The link was very helpful.
I also discovered that when I resize my grouped visio image, some of the objects line small vertical lines will not move to the correct place in the sizing effort. Is it possible that I should do something else in sizing??? I have been using the same ratio for width vs height. I didn't lock anything. I also discovered that I will need to try to keep my text width the same during sizing. My sizing isn't very much, but in a few cases it causes the text to wrap into a new line. I do have room to expand the text width back. The linked article give, indicate that I should do this in the Text transform section of the shape sheet. I was not able to find the "Text transform section". Do you know what its trying to really tell me ??? Do you know of an easy way to prevent the text width from sizing ???

Using Lock Aspect Ratio & Front wraps Issue
Hi Gary --
Sorry for the long delay, the "Notify me of replies" option doesn't seem to want to talk to me. Regarding the missing "Text Transform" section, just right click in the shapesheet window, open the Insert section, and select Text Transform. In the off chance, it doesn't appear in the Insert section, then, go to the View section and it should be an option there. HTh Wapperdude "G" wrote: The link was very helpful.
