How do I alter the spacing between the text and the line (especially at the beginning of the word - see image).

If this is not possible can I stop the line impinging the text?

Hi Bruce thanks for posting! Can I confirm whether you added the text by double clicking on the line itself or by creating a text box on the canvas? If you double click the line the text should automatically space itself correctly.

Hi Emma

No I did not double click the line to get text the text was automatically added by the "decision" shape line connector. I chose a point on the decision shape and dragged to get a line to join to another shape and it automatically created the "No" text.

Moving the autogenerated text out and then back in also doesn't stop the impingement.

 

When I tried your suggestion I still have the same issue with the line impinging the text
