Visio Shapes

[Dakönich]

Hi all

I have got a big problem, I'm trying to copy jgp., gif. files into visio and
I want them to be in 1-D, so that it is possible to use their endpoints, so
that they won't move while I change the box, during tipping a text into.
If someone knows how it is possible to change from 2-D to 1-D line,
(possible to be changed in the menu: format ( behaviour ) please answer me as
soon as possible, because I'm pressurized.

In other words:
is it possible to change 2-D Shapes into 1-D Shapes, if the underlying shape
is a picture?

If you do an insert Picture, the option on the Behaviour Dialog under the
Format menu has the interaction style of line (1-d) grayed out.

Once you insert the graphic choose Group from the Shapes menu. You can now
convert the shape to a line.

thanks, that did it. we just added an "invisible" rectangle, grouped both the
rectangle and the graphic and were able to convert it it a 1-d shape
