Text no longer centres

[Andy]

Visio 2003/2007

If I have a rectangle that contains some centred text, if i stretch
the width of the rectangle to exceed 1324mm, the text is no longer
centred.

I inserted a text transform, the formula for TxtPinX is correct as
Width*0.5, just it seems to give the wrong result.

May be it is a bug. The offdet is about 14 pt.
not regard to the font size.
My idea is to increase margin at the left by 14 pt,
when the width exceeds 1324 mm.

Hmmmm! Works ok in Visio 2000, many shapes are broken in Visio 2003
onwards.
A few minutes quick testing though, it's a width of 52 inches where it
goes wrong. Fix: add a TextTransform section in the shapesheet and set
the text width formula =TEXTWIDTH(TheText)

Excellent. Thank-you, that fixes it.

Nice bug guys!

It seems to happen at 52 non-scaled inches, or "printed size". So if you
have a drawing scale of 1:4, the problem will surface at 208inches.
