Subject:Visio question - Line labels From:John Posada <JPosada -at- book -dot- com> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Wed, 26 Mar 2003 12:19:36 -0500
Hi, guys...this is directed to you Visio experts.
I create a number of decision points where No branches one way and Yes
branches the other. Sometimes, this branch go to a destination many pages
away.
When you click a line to enter a label, it insists on putting the label in
the middle of the line. For short spans, no troubles. However, some of my
lines may be 3 feet long (or longer), so when you look at the starting point
of the line, you don't know if it is a Yes or No branch.
What I would like to do is place the label near the start of the line (and
in a perfect world, repeat the label X number of inches, but this may be too
much to ask).
Anyone have a solution? Anyone know what I'm talking about? Anyone care?
