Where are the round rotation handles at each corner of a text box?

[Joel in Brooklyn]

In Visio 2003, I'm trying to rotate text so that it aligns PERFECTLY (EVENLY)
along the slanting right side of a triangle. According to the manual I'm
reading, after I choose the text block (rotating) tool, I'm supposed to see
"green selection handles...along with ROUND ROTATION HANDLES AT EACH CORNER
OF THE TEXT BOX FRAME." This works in Visio 2002...but in Visio 2003 I see
ONLY the rotation handle on top of the text box frame, which (in the case of
a triangle) only rotates the text box in 15 degree increments, so that I
cannot align my text evenly along the slanting right side of the triangle.
Is this a glitch? HELP, PLEASE! I'm really frustrated over this. Thanks!

The single rotation handle replaces the corner handles in Visio 2003. In
both versions the increment of rotation is determined by the distance the
cursor is from the shape. Look in the status bar while you are rotating to
see the increment. Try grabbing the handle and making a larger sweeping
motion with your mouse. You will get finer increments.
