Turn off namespace display for actors

[Alan]

How do I turn off the display of namespaces (package names) for
actors on diagrams?

I have defined actors under "Top Level Package." When I drag the
actors onto a Visio 2003 diagram, it displays the namespace before the
actor name (e.g., "Top Level Package::Customer"). However, I would
like to simply display the actor name (e.g., "Customer").

Thanks, Alan

Right-click -> Shape Display Options
Suppress -> Package Qualifier Name

Paul,
I cannot find the "Shape Display Options." What should I
right-click on?

Thanks, Alan

The actor shape on your diagram.

All of the Suppress options are grayed out. I am using Visio 2007
(not Professional version).

Therein lies the problem, you need the UML addin that comes with
professional to make the menus work.
