That doesn't help here. This is beginning to seem a bit mysterious.

Any ideas why I do not get the secondary smaller handles?
Is the proecess more complex than the steps I posted?

Is seeing the cross-hair with arrow heads normal?


I've posted a small video showing what I do here. Can anyone see what
is wrong:

Well, it crashed my web browser the first times I tried it (IE and
Mozilla). After a reboot it worked.
Hmmm, it appears you are doing nothing wrong.

Sorry it crashed your browsers... and hope it isn't something I've
done. Its a sort of standard Quicktime format... sorensen3
compression on a quicktime *.mov.

As you see, no extra handles appear. What do you suppose is the
reason. Do you know if the trial version has limitations that might
cause this?

What about posting your diagram or putting that on your web page.

No problem ! Stuff happens.

Hmmmm. I can't find any setting that can turn this on/off.
Idea ! Go to your graphic card settings, wherever they are, and turn
off any graphics hardware acceleration.

Hi Paul,

I am running Visio 2002 10.0.525, and i followed your instructions very
carefully, yet i have yet to get the additional handles to present themselves
either. i let the mouse hover over the lines of the rectangle and over the
rectangle itself, neither of which seems to work.

can you provide some other insight?

thank you!

Sorry, I don't know anything more that can be done, I can find no
setting that controls this effect.

I don't think the method discussed here applies to Visio 2002 so no wonder it
doesn't work. Try this instead:
Select the rectangle with the Line Tool activated. Then you will see the
shape vertices in the corners that you can move.
