Go into the shapesheet for the text on the part and set its character cell to be a fixed fraction of the page size.
=ThePage!PageHeight/12

sorry but not finding anything that shows that. not sure if i am looking in the proper place. its all the text on the drawing that i made that will not adjust to the sizing of the item. took a picture of a item and wanted to make a stencil of the item. It has text on it and added it to the drawing.
Right-click on the Stencil item.
Choose edit master.
Select the text
Open the ShapeSheet (view|Shapesheet) or Alt WS
Scroll down to the Character row
Edit the Size property as above.
Close all, saving changes.
Now whenever you paste that stencil item, it's text will be a fixed proportion of the page height

What version of Visio are you using? The stuff above definitely works in V2K (and therefore should be OK with later)

Sorry I haven't moved up to 2003.
Can someone else here check the syntax for 2003 please?

That technique has worked since the early days of Visio. I did a cut and paste from the above message into a shapesheet in Visio 2003 and it worked.
Entering information into a shapesheet cell is similar to how it works in Excel. There will be an entry field at the top ofthe screen with a green check mark and a red X. Cut the information from the message and past it into this entry field making sure that you replace the previous contents.
