Visio flowchart - change height of horizontal bands

B

bev

I've tried setting the height I want in the Size and Position window as well
as the ShapeSheet window, but neither will accept the smaller numbers I'm
trying to input. When I simply drag the label handles, the band height
increases instead of decreasing.

Need more info: Are you working with a drawing based on a Cross Functional
Flowchart template? (e.g., in 2007: File/New/Cross Functional Flowchart).

Latest service pack? (SP3)
Band orientation? (Horizontal or Vertical)
Does this happen on new files?
Give me an example of a value are you entering in Size & Position window?

I'm on a LAN at the office and we don't have SP3 installed.
The bands are horizontal. I'm working with 8 bands in one complex flowchart.
Yes, it happens in new files, typically with more than 6 bands.
Height 0.65 in. The band height is currently 0.7254 in, but I can't enter
anything less - it just reverts to the current value.

Thank you.

The only thing I could think of that would cause that would be protection
on Height but in that case you would get a notification like "Shape
protection and/or layer properties prevent complete execution of this
command."

Since it happens on new files I would try repairing Visio to see if that
helps. Also, if your network policies prohibit downloading accessing Office
Update of Windows Update sites, you can download Visio 2003 SP3 from the
Microsoft Download Center (http://download.microsoft.com). But you would
still need rights to install software on the machine. The direct URL for
Visio 2003 SP3 is

I did try Format, Protection but height is not checked and there are no layer
properties set that would do it, either.

I'll check with the LAN staff to see if I can download the Visio SP3.

Thank you for your help.

Try running a Detect and Repair from the Help menu in Visio, you don't
need to check either checkboxes unless you want to reset toolbars or reset
default settings.

I got permission to download and install SP3 for Visio 2003. The problem I
was having seems to have been resolved.

Thanks again for your help.

Visio does really have awesome ease of use when it comes to grouping things logically for export.
This is essentially multiple-table inheritance that you can get in Visio Trail as well, it is the
domain as a simple reference relationship if you want. real-time data Embed together and program
the Visio drawing environment, visual Aero Glass effects, themes, and transparencies.
