Divider Lines?

[B. Levien]

I received a Visio Chart from someone else outside of my office that I need
to revise. I have used Visio, but am NOT a proficient user (I know enough to
draw shapes, add text, and lines, but that's about it).

There is a horizontal line in the middle of the square or rectangle shape
which stays in the middle of the shape (squares/rectangles). The line does
not go all the way across the shape (it leaves "blank" space at each end).

I use Visio 2003, but I do not know what version was used to create this
particular document. It was based on a .vst file. I believe there are macros
in the document, but am uncertain what they.

I tried to right click the shape, and choose Hide Divider Line, but that
doesn't seem to have any effect.

Does anyone know what this could be?

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hello,

If you right-click on the shape and select Format / Special, what does it
say the "Master" is?

Also, if you select File / Properties / General tab, what is the "Based on"
name?

Best regards

John

Sounds like one of the Visio Orgchart shapes.
To start with, what version of Visio are you using and is there an Orchart
menu?
