No - I haven’t needed to, so haven’t tried it.

Have you found a solution any more helpful than Guy Sangwine’s in regards to the problem that Visio cannot skew text?

Apologies - I should have said what my poor solution is.

I simply create the skewed text within Firworks, save as a png and then import into Visio.

It work fine as long as you remember to up the resolution within FW (if for print) and make the canvas transparent.

It really is not ideal as you must use FW to make any changes to the text.

Hi Donna,

One problem I often face is that Visio cannot skew text - which makes it hard when labelled 2.5D isometric site maps.

I mean you can rotate, but not skew to get that true 2.5d feeling.

I have a (poor) solution, but I am wondering if you have a sublime solution?

Cheers,
Guy

Hi Donna,
It would be fantastic to know how to duplicate pages in Visio as it is possible in PowerPoint (Ctrl+D). I think it is not posible at the moment.
