I have thousands of stencils sets that I created before I switched to Visio 2013. When opening a stencil file in 2013 and dropping a stencil onto a blank drawing, Visio automatically places a text box around every text within that stencil. I cannot find a way to disable this setting. All I can do is go through and individually remove each text box, which is extremely time consuming when working with several stencils for a project.
I have attached an example of what I am seeing.
Does anyone have anything I can try to fix this?
I think that is a theme setting. I don't have Visio 2013 so I can't tell you which menus to use.
I have both "no theme" and "no variants" selected, is it possible it can be tied to those settings? I have a colleague experiencing the same problem. We have both been going through all of the Visio settings and trying to resolve this for a few weeks now.
Also, we are using Visio Professional 2013 if that changes anything.
Looks like the text box has borders turned on. Perhaps its a default or perhaps you have referenced some old callout that has a new flavor or behavior.
