Positioning shape numbers
Hi All,
I've run the Number Shapes add-on in Visio 2007. The shape numbers appear inside of the shape. I need to position the shape numbers to be just outside of the shape. Desired location: just outside and at the upper-right "corner" of the shape. Other information: I've tried inserting a control in the Text Transform section of the shapesheet (TxtPinX and TxtPinY cells). This works. However, both the shape number *and* the shape's text appear outside of the shape. I want only the shape number to appear outside of the shape. Thanks for any help you can provide . . . |

Positioning shape numbers
Since the Number Shape Add-on is being used this will limit your options.
There is not an option to place the numbering outside of the shape in the wizard. However you can manually move the number outside the shape and still retain the text box within the shape. Once the shapes have been place on the page run the add-on to place the numbers within the shape. At this point if you double click on the shape it should highlight the number which can now be move outside of the shape. If you double click once more on the shape you should be able to type in text. By the way if this method is used when shapes are moved the numbers will not follow.
