Making Comments Visible w/o Having To Hover/MouseOver?

[PeteCresswell]

I've got comments on a flowchart, but want them tb expanded/fully
visible all the time - without the user having to do a MouseOver/
Hover.

Is there a way?

Hi Pete,

Are you using Visio 2007? If so, you could display a data graphic on
your flowchart shapes.

Start with: Data > Display Data on Shapes.

You'll have to modify a Data Graphic so that it reports on the "Comment"
property. When you edit the data graphic, you'll need to configure an
item to poin to the comment cell of your shape. The buttons you'll click
go something like this:

Edit Item... > Data Fields > More Fields... > Custom Formula > =Comment

Hope this helps,
