I've been beating my head against this...can anyone help? I know how to insert fields into text, ones that correspond to custom properties on a stencil, but this only appears to work for simple shapes (square, circle). As soon as I try to do the same thing to a stencil built up from simple shapes (say, the workstation stencil under 'simple network diagram') I am no longer able to call up any of the custom fields to insert into text. Anyone else dealt with this problem? I'm using Visio 2002
