This article explains how to display text that is derived from a shape's custom properties in Microsoft Visio. In this article, the "process" shape from the Basic flowchart stencil is used for illustration purposes. If you use an alternate shape, make sure the shape has custom properties, and that you have entered values into the custom properties. Drag the "process" shape to the drawing page. Right-click the shape to enter values into the three custom properties (cost, duration, and resources).

This article shows you how to start page numbering with a number other than the default page number for a particular page. You might want to do this if you were creating a multiple page document with a title page and an index page. In this case, you would want page 1 to be the third page of your document.

Designing Visio Formulas
Designing good Microsoft® Visio® formulas requires more than correct syntax. A shape developer needs to understand where a shape obtains its default formulas, the advantages and disadvantages of storing formulas in certain cells, how to protect custom formulas against inadvertent changes, and how to control formula recalculation for best performance. When you open a ShapeSheet® window, a formula you see in a cell might be inherited from a master or a style.
This is a third edition of my article on using Visio for rapid prototyping for the web. The new edition includes a minor update of the GUUUI Web Prototyping Tool that eliminates a major shortcoming: the inability to create scrolling pages. The update also includes brand new sketchy interface widgets. The GUUUI Web Prototyping Tool is, as the name indicates, a tool for creating interactive prototypes of sites and web applications using Visio.
