Can you change the shape of a box in Visio?

Can you change the shape of a box in Visio? I want to change a process box to a data box without loosing all of my data fields. Silly me I just want to be able to highlight the box right click and change the shape to a parallelogram.

shape swapping is a standard feature in v2013. In v2010 you can use a 3rd party utility

    You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

  • How can I change the shape of a photo in iPhoto?

    Can I change the shape of a picture to an oval?

    No. You'd need an external editor for that kind of stuff:
    In order of price here are some suggestions:
    Seashore (free)
    The Gimp (free)
    Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
    Acorn ($50 approx)
    Pixelmator ($50 approx)
    Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
    There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store.
    You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
    Of course, you may not want to change the shape of a photo which would distort it. You may want to print it in an oval shape but undistorted. I'd use a page layout app like Pages for that,

  • Can you change the ruler color of grey to be an actual color?

    So in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign, can you change the rulers to be something other then the boring grey. I mean can you change it to actual be a color? If yes, how? If no, Adobe really needs to implement this. I think to have the rulers be in a color would help greatly for visibility.
    Thanks for any help. Thought perhaps there may be an easter egg or trick possibly to do this.

    In my pages the shapes are green with a black line. Yo can change it by clicking on the format bar. See image. You can also change it in the Inspector palette > Graphic tab > Fill
    You could create a document with all the shapes int the right colour and save as a document or template. Then you can use it by "copy and paste" the shapes into a new document

  • Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?

    Can you change the legth of time (or number of rings) it takes for on iphone 4 to time out making an outgonig call?
    Mostly it's to call in for radio contests. The Iphone is really good at making a quick call, but it seems to timeout after 15-20 rings. I realise this is a small thing, but free tickets is free tickets.
    Most commenst I see is abotu incoling calls, not outging.
    Thanks.

    No. You can't do this with any phone.

  • Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW?

    Can you change the DEFAULT VIEW of a published iCal to MONTH VIEW? I use this for a vacation rental and people never ever ever ever need to see anything but the MONTH VIEW. I hate having to tell them to click MONTH view at the top of the page. Is there a way to force it to always appear in MONTH? Thanks!

    ddotcom,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Unfortunately no, but if they are repeat viewers why not tell them to change their view to "Monthly" using the "Preferences" button on that page?

  • How can you change your line access selection?  I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

    How can you change your line access selection?  I have found where you can change your plan selection, but can you change the line access fee or is that a set amount?

        DIVAB71,
    Great question. The line access fees for the account are a set amount and can not be changed unless you are going from a basic to a smartphone or vice versa. If you are wondering about adding the month to month discount if you are out of contract Ann154 has provided great information on how to access and add the feature.

  • Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?

    Can you change the extensions in Adobe Muse from .html to .htm?
    I'm updating an old site where the extensions for the pages were all.htm. This means that when I upload the site index.htm is not being over written by index.html.

    Hi,
    It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.

  • How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5

    How can you change the bubble color in the message app on the iphone 5?

    If you are having trouble reading your texts you can increase the font size until it becomes clear. Put in a feature request for the colour change though, it won't happen unless people ask for it.

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

  • Can you change the theme color in iMovie for example from its current color of blue to red?

    Can you change the color of a theme in iMovie ?- example: the sports theme is set to be blue and I would like it red.

    No. And that would be nice in your type of example.
    I would recommend that you could TRY to use the "Map, Background & Animatics" earth icon> (next to transitions tool tab), scroll down> add RED background, and ADD Transitions inside some. That might help your example out.
    Hope this helps. Cheers
