Hi MGD --
Couple of suggestions to try. Perhaps this one shape is corrupt, so..
1.) Is it a unique placement -- the only one of it's type?
a.) try copy and paste to see if the problem continues.
b.) try dragging new instances from the stencil to see if the problem
changes.
2.) Take a working shape, right click, select "Change Position Type" , and
change it to be the same as the problem shape. Does this cause the text to
stop printing?
If the problem doesn't go away, but seems to be just associated with the
particular position type, then, your shape is probably corrupt, and you may
need to re-install the shape (may mean re-install Visio).
