Shape with multiple texts

[Brandon]

Does anyone know how insert multiple texts in a shape?

I have several Custom Properties (i.e. Start, Finish, Role) that I would
like to attach to these different texts and be able to position them any
where around the shape.

Regards,
Brandon

P.s. I read 'Multiple text blocks in a shape' below, but I don't quite
understand point 3 either, so I have same questions as 'BPM@Work'.

A basic Visio shape has only one text block. To have more text blocks, you
will need to group several shapes together to create a grouped shape. The
grouping process creates a new shape that with later versions of Visio also
includes a text box. So, if you group two shapes, the grouped shape will
have three text boxes.

Add the custom properties to the grouped shape and change the text box in
the component shapes to reference the custom properties in the grouped
shape.
