How to keep a shape from getting garbled when resizing
Mosey
with text inside. I turned on the following Protections: Aspect Ratio, Text,
Format, From group formatting. But, when I place this shape in a drawing and
then try to resize it, the text inside gets all garbled. It doesn't resize
with the rest of the shape. How do I fix this?

First, you shouldn't need all those protections, turn them off again.
What do you mean by the text getting garbled?
I wonder if you mean that it appears as pale grey blocks?
menu Tools -> Options -> View
and at the bottom in the "Greek text" set it to 4pt or less.
Greek text is nothing to do with the Greek language.

text spaced and aligned the way I want it and lined up with the Connection
Points. But, when I resize it, text overlaps with text around it and no
longer lines up with the Connection Points. The text doesn't shrink down when
I resize the rectangle, the text stays the same size. I need the text to
shrink down and stay in proportion with the rectangle. Is there a way to
attach images with posts on this forum?

Answered over on the VisioGuy forum.
No images allowed here, it's a purely text medium, however, you can
put an image easily on a webpage somewhere and provide a link to it.
Free webspace is 10 a penny.
