Title: Find and Replace text in a Shapesheet
Post by: RudySchneider on February 21, 2018, 07:01:54 PM
I periodically use Find and Replace on Visio Drawings, which works a treat.  But, short of considering writing a macro, I haven't managed to figure out a way to do so when it comes to a Shapesheet in which I have specific text or formulas in multiple places.  So far, I've been simply (and time-consumingly!) relegated to manually locating and replacing.

There's GOT to be a better way to edit Shapesheets in a manner similar to a standard text editor, no?

Did you try ShapeSheet Watch (http://visguy.com/vgforum/index.php?topic=5229) ?

Yeah, I found that on the web, which is fine for me to download and try at home.  But we've got strict controls on any software here at work.  Since it's a Microsoft .msi, I suppose I could inquire with my IT people to see how we could accommodate it.
