I make a lot of cross-functional flowcharts that are linked to Excel data
(text). Sometimes the text is quite long.
When I link to external data, /sometimes/ the text truncates. Seems to cut
off at 255 characters. But other times, it doesn't truncate, and I
successfully link to far more than 255 characters.
Vision 2007, Excel 2007 (but also occurred with Excel 2003). Has anyone else
seen this? Do you know a fix?
Workaround is to link, then edit the shape data in Visio to add the missing
text, but that is not ideal.
