SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to edit the text of a shape in a Visio drawing by double-clicking the shape, you may not be able to edit the text.

CAUSE

This behavior can occur with locked, hyperlinked, and off-page reference shapes that ordinarily link to another place in the document upon the double-click event.

RESOLUTION

To edit the shape's text, follow these steps:
  1. If the standard toolbar is not visible, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Standard.
  2. Click the shape.
  3. On the standard toolbar, click the Text Tool button, and then change the text.
