How do I allow my shape text to be repositioned?

That was what I needed to know.

Thanks,

Rob

One more thing, is there a way to print the shape?

Hi Rob,

the tool to reposition the textfield is the icon beneath the text tool icon
('A') and is called the text block tool, the icon consists of a small
unfineshed circle with a small 'a'.
Tou just select the text with that tool and then you can reposition it.

That method is cumbersome.

I would like my shapes to act like the ones that are included in Visio. When
I click on one of these shapes they show a yellow handle that allows me to
reposition the text. Also, the text box width grows as I add characters to a
line. Your method means I have to resize the text box every time I want to
add more text to a line.

Since the shapes that come with Visio can do this, I am sure there must be a
way for me to make mine do it.

Thanks,

Rob
