I've called Microsoft and the young man who answered said he is not familiar with the software!!! Anyway, Visio 2007 will not change the page orientation. I select the print setup tab in page set up dialog box and then click the setup button. There I choose landscape radio button and click OK. If I click the setup button again, the radio button is back to portrait. So I am only able to print portrait. What do you think? Thanks Hello,

But you can import Word Art objects into Visio. I find that it's easier just to fire up Word and create a Word Art object, but you can get to from Visio via: Insert > Object. Then pick "Microsoft Word Picture". You'll get a funny-looking window that lets you create a Word Art object inside. - Chris Hi Mwunsch,

Is there anyway to create an arc in Visio 2003 and have the text wrap to the arc ??

I have made several Visio 2003 Pro symbols [each consisting of group(s) of parts] and put them in stencils. Some became "masters" in Visio speak. Others did not. The difference in behavior is that when I delete a part of the symbol grouping [did not ungroup] from one instance of the symbol but not another the vsd drawing correctly shows the deletion for both those that are copies of "masters" and those that are copies of "non-masters". However when I save the VSD file as an SVG file the deleted part of the symbol is, unexpectedly, still shown in the SVG view when the symbol is from a "master" but is, as expected, not shown when the symbol is from a "non-master". Both "master" and "non-master" symbols were made and put into stencils the same way as far as I can tell. I want the "non-master" behavior. Can anyone tell me how to consistently create "non-masters" in stencils? I applogize for the length of this post!
