Even worse than seeing one, we might need to create one for a presentation we are giving! All so that you can use that time and energy you save for leaving me a nice comment at the end of this article.
So lets quickly go over the features so you can get to that all-important process-chevroning that you have been putting off for so long. The shape can contain up to ten arrow-segments. When you select the shape and start typing, you actually enter a single list of items, separated by semicolons.
I think Quick Text is a cool invention, and hopefully you do to! If not, leave a comment and tell me to knock it off! The chevron process shape will extract each item from your list, and add it to an arrow.
We can see what it looks like as we add items to our list:. There are three semicolons which give us four items. As promised, the shape is displaying four chevron arrows, one for each item! Although a bit geeky, this is a heck of a lot easier than selecting each arrow, or tabbing through ten different Shape Data fields to edit the shape.
It also is much easier to transfer information from one shape to another, since you only have one long string of text copy and paste.
But if you right-click the shape, there is an option to Show Text List if you need to see it for some reason. If you want to edit an existing list, just double-click the shape, or select and press F2.
The default option for search is to search for text that matches All of the words AND. Although the search is not case-sensitive, it does match on whole words. For example, "Air Cond" will not find the "Air Conditioner" shape when this is the selected option. However, if the option is changed to Any of the words OR , then the "Air Conditioner" shape will be matched because its name contains the word "Air". When you select one of the found master shapes in the Local results, and drag it onto the page, a copy of the master shape is first added to the Document Stencil.
You can drag and drop this master shape from there subsequently, rather than searching for it again. The search also checks the Keywords of the shapes. For example, searching for the word "Tile" appears to mistakenly match with "Square stone", however, an examination of the Keywords of the master shape reveals that it does contain the word "tile". Editions of Microsoft Visio that have an online subscription also have the ability to search for shapes in a number of third party stencils hosted by Microsoft.
For example, searching for the word "Tile" shows that it is also found in an online stencil, which can then be selected and downloaded. These stencils, and all of the master shapes within them, are immediately available to use in the current and subsequent sessions.
These stencils have been vetted by Microsoft and are safe to use. If you have an Internet connection, you can search the Microsoft Download Center for Visio shapes or stencils.
