Lines and Text Boxes - Functionality Question

[Peter Barrett]

I want to create a flow diagram and link various decision and process boxes
with lines which have text in them - e.g. a line coming from a decision
diamond with a label YES on it and connected to a process box.

I have browsed several posts and I am now under the impression that it is
not possible to have a single line with text on it.

This seems amazing - given that Powerpoint has gobbled up Visio and Visio
supported such functionality.

I have tried the idea of grouping a line, a text box and then another line
together but find that this is unwieldy.

Could a MVP please confirm my fears or point me in the right direction,
please?

Thanks

Peter

PowerPoint hasn't gobbled up Visio.

But you are correct -- you cannot add a textbox to a line. You'd need to
group a line and textbox together.

You can use connectors to connect two shapes, though -- that might at least
be easier than grouping two lines together.
