Numbered Shapes

Hi, I am using Visio 2003.
I numbered all the shapes in a flowchart using the Tools|Add-Ons|Visio
Extras|Number Shapes. I now find I can not get rid of the numbers.
How can I delete the numbers?
I will probably say "DUH" when it is pointed out to me

Thanks
Carl

Hello Carl,

The addon adds a custom property to each shape named "Hide shape number".
You can set this to false (View / Custom Properties if the custom properties
aren't visible) on a shape by shape basis or by multiple selecting the
shapes and then making the change.

If you really need to delete them, permenantly, you can just delete three
respective custom properties and inserted field (Text Field) in the
ShapeSheet. If you've not come across the ShapeSheet before then you might
be interested in this blog post:

Hope that helps.

Best regards

John
