Visio Table

[Wyatt]

I need to create a table on a visio page. This table has rows & columns of
varying height. Some cells have text and some do not. This is currently
being accomplished by drawing a grid of rectangles (using a call to
DropMany). Unfortunately, this table can have approx. 10-20 columns & 10-20
rows.

This can get painfully slow, is there a faster way?

(Note: All cells are locked for edit by the user.)

What actions are you taking besides DropMany? If you have to do a lot of
set up in the shapes, you may want to create a master shape and instance it.
Also make sure to use SetFormulas for bulk operations. The goal is to
minimize the number of automation calls to Visio.
