SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to edit the text of a shape in a Visio drawing by double-clicking the shape, you may not be able to edit the text.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur with locked, hyperlinked, and off-page reference shapes that ordinarily link to another place in the document upon the double-click event.



RESOLUTION
To edit the shape's text, follow these steps:
 * 1) If the standard toolbar is not visible, point to Toolbars on the View menu, and then click Standard.
 * 2) Click the shape.
 * 3) On the standard toolbar, click the Text Tool button, and then change the text.
