Display labels on UML Connectors

[LTaylor]

Hi all,

Is there a way to display the label on a UML connector? I'm using Visio
Professional 2007 and working in an Activity Diagram. I know this was not
possible in older versions, but I'm hoping that's changed with this version.
It's a pain always having to add a text box that's not connected (I know, I
can group, but still...).

Any help would be appreciated!

In this case, I am using the Constraints Connector. After you place this
shape on the page you can select it then use the right mouse button and
select format > text. This should bring up the text menu for the shape and
place you on the font tab. Select the bullets tab, which should be the very
last tab available on this menu. Locate the custom/ Bullet characters section
it should be blank by default. When you enter text in this field, it will
display for the connector. You may want to go back to Text block tab and make
the desired alignment and text background adjustments.
