Positioning Callouts in Visio

Chris Hopkins

If a callout is not positioned the way you want it after you drag it from the callout stencil, drag the line end and connect it to your shapes.

A call-out box dragged on to a drawing from the "Annotation" stencil
A callout much as dragged and dropped on to the drawing. We have enhanced with an arrow line-end.

The callout box will rotate to create the shortest distance between it and the shape's connection point.

Automatically repositioned call-out box.
Simply by moving the arrow-head end of the call-out leader, the call-out box has repositioned itself, so retaining ease of reading the drawing.
