Moving a Divider line

[nsr21710]

I am using Visio 2003 to create an org chart. I would like to move the
divider line to be after the second line of text (before the third). I can't
find any information for how to do so. Please advise.

It's a cheat, but ...
the divider line's position is calculated but you can override this as
follows.

Select the shape you wish to modify
menu Window -> Show Shapesheet
in the section User-defined cells find the row User.DividerOffset
This normally contains a complicated formula, but you can overwrite it
with a value, I just tried 4mm and that seemed to work quite well.
You'lll need to experiment with the value.

Paul,

Thanks for the suggestion, but the User.DividerOffset is not an option in my
ShapeSheet. Are you using Visio 2003? Is there another way I can do this?

I am getting pretty desperate. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Is the User-defined section visible in the shapesheet? If not, click
on the background and make it visible.
Ok, in that case, look at section Geometry3, the LineTo.X coordinate
should have a formula, in my shapesheet it reads
=IF(TextDirection=0,Width-2*User.Margin,User.DividerOffset)
