Visio does not have an easy way of stacking shapes or setting the gap when distributing shapes. I have created a shape that makes these things possible using a List container shape. Containers expose a ribbon, but Visio has limited what you can do. The List container shape I describe in

uses a right click menu to enhance the shape.
What do you think?

Thank you John not only is this a very useful supershape but amazing how you did all this with the shapesheet. I resort too quickly to just using some VBA, in this example shape I see there's much more I could do with using the shapesheet intelligently rather than use VBA right away.
