Custom Shape - Size and Font don't stick

[PThayne]

In Visio 2007 I created a custom Shape by setting one up exactly like I
wanted (data fields, width, height, font, etc) and then dragging it to my
stencil toolbar. When I then drag it back to the document to create
additional shapes, it looks correct (font, shape, etc) while dragging but
once I drop it, the size snaps back to a standard size and the fonts all
return to the default font.

What am I missing?

BTW, I get the same results when I copy and past the shape to same page.
The pasted shape doesn't look anything like the copied one.

Hello P,

Sounds like you already have a stencil of the same name in the document
stencil?

Can I direct you to another post that I think will help (ignore the
programming part):

Let me know how you get on.

Best regards

John
