Only wish I can think of is a way to define 'intermediate' colors. Thanks for your effort! Looks great, works even better. Only wish I can think of is a way to define ‘intermediate’ colors.

The shape <em>does</em> use new features ShapeSheet functions introduced in Visio 2007. I would guess that this would mess up your coloration. But you should still be able to select the shape and type a list of text items. That should still work! Hi Dave,

a.) gravity on txtangle so if it is rotated the text stays level
b.) the ability to interact vertically as well as horizontally
This would give a ‘list shape’ which I would dearly love to see as a datagraphic item (solves the multiple record item requested in the forum)

This bug shows up when I make a master out of the shape. For that reason, I have left it as a pure shape, not a master. Just copy it from the original Visio document and paste it into your own pages.
