Is there any way to get perspective text in Visio 2007?
In CorelDRAW you can click on any shape several times to bring up corner handles that allow you to modify any shape to any arbitrary perspective. In Visio, with the right checkbox enabled in the options, you can bring up similar corner handles by hovering over a freshly drawn rectangle, but it doesn't work for grouped shapes, so I can't just group my text shape with a rectangle to accomplish the perspective.
Inkscape has kind of a clunky way of doing it, and I would use Inkscape if I could, but it hangs on me every time I try it. (See linked tutorial video.)

I am able to get as far as transforming a text object into a shape using the Visio WordArt macro, but I can't apply perspective to the text shape.
How would you like my Visio WordArt.

It's great! I love it! And I as mentioned above, it's what I'm using to get a shape from text in Visio. But I don't think it can do arbitrary perspective transformations. Am I wrong?
Example: I want something like choice 34 in the WordArt Macro, but I want to be able to set the positions of the corners arbitrarily.
I am so sorry not to be any help for you.
Perhaps you need to work hard to write a Visio program that handles the projective transformation like this.

I made a simple trial VBA macro to make it perspective at

But I am sorry this macro does not run on Visio 2007, as I think that does not supports Container and List.
