Sharon,
Not sure if this will do it, but searching in Visio under "Circular
text" yielded the following. Note there is reference to adding text at
the end:
 
CREATE AN ONION DIAGRAM

1.      From the File menu, point to New, point to Block Diagram, and
then click Block Diagram. 
2.      From Blocks, drag the Concentric layer 1 shape onto the drawing
page to form the outer layer of the onion. 
3.      Drag the Concentric layer 2 shape onto the drawing page,
position it inside the outer layer until it snaps into place, and then
release the mouse button. 
4.      Repeat step 3 using the Concentric layer 3 and Concentric center
shapes until you have all the layers in place. 

        *       To change the radius of a concentric layer, drag a
selection handle   to resize the layer as needed. 
        *       To change the thickness of a concentric layer, drag the
control handle   on the inside rim until the shape is the correct
thickness. (If you don't know which control handle to use, pause the
pointer over a control handle until you see a tip.)

5.      To divide a concentric layer into sections, use Partial layer
shapes. 

        1.      From the Blocks stencil, drag a Partial layer shape that
matches the size of the concentric layer onto the drawing page. 
        2.      If necessary, customize the partial layer to suit the
concentric layer in your onion diagram. 

                To change the orientation of a partial layer, select it,
and then on the Shape menu, point to Rotate or Flip. Click the
appropriate option to reposition the shape.

                *       To change the radius of a partial layer, drag
the control handle  on the outside edge. 
                *       To change the thickness of a partial layer, drag
the control handle on the inside rim.

        3.      Drag the partial layer over the concentric layer that
you want to divide until it snaps into place and its endpoints   glue to
connection points   on the layers. 

                The endpoints turn red when the shapes are glued.

6.      To add text to a layer, select the layer or partial layer, and
then type. 

Some of the above steps give visual examples.
 
regards,
Matilda

Exactly Matilda, the text wraps around in a cicular shape...so you have
text, arrow, text, arrow, text, arrow etc all in a circle until you come
back to the start of the "circle". I hope I'm making sense!
 
I am using version 3.0 of Visio.

Hi Sharon,
Do you mean the text must wrap around the circumference of the circle?
Or, do you mean little balloon texts which orbit the circle?
 
What version of Visio do you use?

Hi all,
 
I need to draw a circular diagram in Visio with text along the 'circle'
and arrows connecting this text. All the arrows will go in the same
direction. It's basically like a circular flow diagram really.
 
Is there a "shape" in Visio that lets you do this? I can't seem to find
one anywhere. 
 
 
 
Kind regards,
