I have shapes that were created when I imported diagrams from Visio.  These shapes have text boxes below them that wrap text when it exceeds a particular width.  I would like to be able to change the width so that I can better manage the number of lines of text for a particular instance of the shape, how can I do this.  I have noticed that each instance I import has a unique width, can this width be edited or do I need to edit the shapes in Visio and re-import them?

Hi ​@Wil P 

You can often edit the widths of text boxes directly in Lucidchart by resizing, but in some Visio-imported cases, manual adjustment might require editing the original Visio shapes or reconstructing the text boxes inside Lucid chart after import.

Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards


Thank you, it seems that what I have been doing is the best workaround until I create a similar enough shape natively in Lucidchart.
