Hi all,
I'm a beginner when it comes to Visio.

I’m using Visio 2007 and I’m wondering if the following is possible. What I
want to be able to do is to change the text in a number of textboxes by just
editing one of them - that is, when I change the text in one textbox, the
three other textboxes will display what I’ve just written automatically. Can
this be done?

Thanks in advance.

the answer is "kinda". You can coordinate text between shapes so that
changing a specific shape will be mirrored to others. It's a one to many,
you don't get the option of changing anyone of them and having all the rest
mirrored. Check out Visio help on "insert field" using custom formula for a
start.

If the text you want to change is contained a shape data (for example the
title in shapes of the organization chart solution), you can also use the
shape data window :
Open the shape data window "View=>Shape data windows"
Select all the shape you want
Modify the title shape data.
Enjoy with visio.
