Hi Adi,

You can certainly copy from Visio and paste into Word, but you won’t have that “liveness” that an autoshape has.

If you paste to Word, then set layout to “Tight” or “In front of text”, it works pretty well.

Plus, you can double-click the Word Balloon to edit “in-place”. This opens the Word Balloon in a mini, in-place Visio window, where you can change the text, move the balloon’s tail, etc.

Hi Visio Guy, thanks for the baloons! I needed them for some diagrams which I am building for a report and I was glad to find them. I have put your name and link to this page in the references of my report. Take care

[...] By the way, I think these tanks need to make an appearance in an Office Offline comic (see article:Word Balloon Shape) [...]

Thanks for the new shape.

The Comic Sans links were interesting since I tend to use that as my default font.

Good idea, Andreas!

I’ve only got so many hours in the day for freebies, but this article/download will get you close:

Bubble Revision Shapes

Maybe you’ll create a Thought Balloon and submit it?

Ciao,

Chris

Hi Chris,

Great! But sometimes things are better left unsaid, even in comics. So how about a Word Ballon Shape 2.0 with additional ‘thinking bubbles’ just to make it perfect?

Cheers,
Andreas

Hi Michael,

Yes, you can put the Word Balloon in your stencil. But could you first download the latest version? I put some hyperlinks to this article and the home page of Visio Guy in the right-click menu.

Cheers,

Great looking shape, can I put this in one of my own stencils?
I have Visio application to design/document/deploy Messaging Infrastructures based on IBM WebSphere MQ and it’s called MQArchitect.
