Text Blocks *********** Each shape in Visio has an associated text area associated with it. This text area or *text block* will always move with the shape. To move the text block for a shape: - Click on the arrow which is just to the right of the text tool (The *text tool* is the letter *A* which looks like the bold button) - Select the *Text Block Tool*. You can then move the text block -or- click on the *pointer tool* to move the whole shape. Get in the habit of switching back to the *text tool* when you have finished moving *text blocks*.
