How do I number each of the boxes without having to click on each box individually and typing the number in?

RE: Visio - Box - Numbering

Hi Adam

Thank you for your question, and apologies for the long delay in replying to your post.

You can add automatic numbering to shapes in Visio - please refer the following instructions:

If it is only specific shapes you wish to have numbered, then select these shapes first.

Go to Tools - Add-Ons -Visio Extras, and then click Number Shapes.

On the General tab, find Operation, select Auto number. Under Apply to select the shape numbering option that is relevant.

Use the Advanced tab. Under Auto numbering sequence, select the auto numbering sequence you want to use.

I hope this helps.
Amanda
