how to control connectors overlapping?

[effebruno]

Hi,

I read the Visio 2007 online manual about the File|Page setup|Layout and routing Separate and Overlap combos, and I thought they worked

Then I tried to draw a very simple flowchart and workflow diagram (see pictures). All connections are shape-to-shape.

In the flowchart diagram, I wasn't able to force Visio separate the connectors from C and D towards A.

In the workflow diagram, I wasn't able to force Visio separate the backward "No" connector from the downward "A" connector.

How can I accomplish the former tasks (without manually moving the connectors or creating a new connection point at the right of the 1st workflow shape and doing a point-to-point connection)?

Moreover, but it's a very newbie question, how could I introduce blank spaces after the "No" connection text in order to increase readability? Visio seems to truncate every trailing spaces and Shift+space (ASCII 160) does not work too...

Thank you for all,
Filippo
