Vertical alignment of text callouts.

[martijn600]

Hello folks,

It looks like I have detected a bug in Visio, but I may be wrong.
I am displaying the value of a custom property (or Shape Data in 2007) in a
text callout.
The text of the custom property may get quite long, so that it won't fit on
a single line and expand on multiple lines.
However, the new line of text is above the existing ones, whereas I want it
to be below the existing ones.
Of course, I have tried to change the vertical alignment, but it just
doesn't help.

I would be really grateful if someone can help me out.

I have not seen what you describe. Does the shape have multiple callouts?
I'm not sure whether you have a single text callout with strange wrapping or
you are comparing two callouts that are not stacked together.

I had to move the text call-out a little manually (this is what you native
speakers seem to call 'nudging'). For test purposes I have tried to make a
new shape and manually nudging the callout (this new shape had only one
callout), but again the same behavior!
The vertical alignment in the callout is set to 'Top', and even in the shape
itself the vertical alignment of the text is set to 'Top', but as mentioned
before, the same result.

To me, it looks like a bug.
I hope you can help me around this.
