visio dimensions question

[Vgolfmaster]

Hi,

I am creating a floor plan in Visio, and every time I drag a table onto my
floor plan, it has text included within the table borders that show the
length and width. I can not find anywhere to turn this feature off, and if I
try to delete these dimension, I end up deleting the table itself.

Is there a way to shut this off for the entire document?

Select the shape, then menu Windows -> Show Shapesheet.
Scroll down to the Miscellaneous section and set Show Text to False.

Menu File -> Shapes -> Show Document Stencil
Edit the table shape as above.

Paul,

Thanks for the tips.

The first one worked by setting the 'hide text' property to false, but there
was no 'show text' - same thing, just different verbiage.

The second suggestion would not work, as the 'show document stencil' option
did not do anything, but it just might be my inexperience with this showing.

Thanks for the tips, it got me where I needed to be!
