Visio - Box - Numbering

How do I number each of the boxes without having to click on each box individually and typing the number in?

RE: Visio - Box - Numbering

Hi Adam

Thank you for your question, and apologies for the long delay in replying to your post.

You can add automatic numbering to shapes in Visio - please refer the following instructions:

If it is only specific shapes you wish to have numbered, then select these shapes first.

Go to Tools - Add-Ons -Visio Extras, and then click Number Shapes.

On the General tab, find Operation, select Auto number. Under Apply to select the shape numbering option that is relevant.

Use the Advanced tab. Under Auto numbering sequence, select the auto numbering sequence you want to use.

I hope this helps.
Amanda

Visio tip:

Creating an organisation chart in Visio using Excel data

A quick and easy way to create an organisation chart by importing names and titles stored in list format in an Excel spreadsheet into Visio.

1. Select File, New, Organization Chart.

2. Start the Organization Chart Wizard.

3. At the first step of the wizard, select the 'Information that I enter using the wizard' option, and click Next.

4. At the second step of the wizard, select Excel, then type the name of the file.

5. Select Browse to choose the location you wish to save the file to, click Save, and then click Next.

6. Click OK - a Microsoft Office Excel workbook will open with column headings already entered for you.

7. Replace the sample text with the text you wish to appear in your organisation chart. By holding your cursor over each column heading, you should be able to view data entry tips.

8. Save the Excel file, then close Excel.

9. Proceed through the remaining steps in the wizard to create your organization chart from the data you entered into the Excel file.

Visio's organisation chart wizard will also recognise the following file formats (besides .xls):

- Microsoft Exchange Server Directory (Microsoft Exchange e-mail Address Book).

- Tab- or Comma-delimited text (.txt).

- Org Plus (.txt).

- Microsoft Office Access (.mdb) or any other file format for a database created in an Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)-compliant database application.
