Add, move, or rotate text on a connector

You can add and move text on a connector the same way that you add and move text on other shapes.

Add Text

  1. Select the connector.
  2. You can add three text blocks in a connector. Double click the area where you want to type text, the nearest text block will be activated.

For example, double click the begin point area of the Connection line, the text block near the begin point will be edited.

Move Text

The text in the connector has a control handle () that you can drag to quickly move shape text.

Rotate Text

To rotate your text, click the Text Block tool (Ctrl+2) on the Home menu, and then drag the rotation handle.

Tips: If you don't see the Text Block tool, click the down arrow next to the Text tool, and then click the Text Block tool.
