Microsoft Visio Advanced Tips - Using the Text Block Tool

Text Block Tool
Just as you can move and rotate a shape relative to the page or to a group, you can move a text block relative to a shape.

The text block is the conceptual rectangle that holds a shape’s text. It can be moved and rotated independently of the shape.

Sitting at the top of the Standard toolbar, just below the big black A is the the Text Block Tool. You have to click the little drop-down triangle to get at it.

If you have a copy of Visio with the ribbon, you will find the Text Block Tool in the Tools group on the Home tab.


Note: some shapes have protection and guarding that prevents you from doing this, so practice on simple shapes that you yourself have drawn until you get familiar with the tool.
