How to Word Wrap in Shapes?

Hi, my text in shapes does not wrap and consequently is missing text when
printed - how do I make it wrap so that more text can get onto extra lines
within a shape - I am using the WBS Modeller template

By default, the WBS Modeler Element shape displays the first 24 characters
of the Name only. This is similar to the Network Diagram in Microsoft
Project.

If you are using Visio Professional, then:
1. Select the Page
2. Open the Shape Data / Custom Properties window
3. Change "Allow element text edit" to TRUE
4. Select shape(s)
5. Select Label Edit from the right mouse menu
6. Select the properties you wish to display, eg Level Number and Element
Name (this will wrap the whole name)
