Nothing built-in in Visio. You have to create individual text blocks and
rotate them.

One thing that makes this a bit easier is that you can move the pin
(rotation point) to the center of the circle, so that all the letter-shapes
that you create will rotate around the center of the circle.

This might help you to see what I was trying to say:

Tried your suggestion and met with success. The only issues are the spacing
of letters.

In my case I had a circle where I need to place test inside. I drew two
circles as guides and rotated the text to the correct angle.

Will Visio support this function in the future.

Appreciated help Thanks

It's a common request but MS rarely announces what will be in future
releases.
