Remarks

You can also set the value of this cell on the Placement tab in the Behavior dialog box (with the shape selected, click Behavior on the Format menu).

You can set any combination of these values for this cell. For example, you can enter the value 3 (&H3), which eliminates movement when you lay out shapes by using the Configure Layout command and when other placeable shapes are placed on or near the shape.

In versions earlier than Visio 2000, you set this behavior using the ObjInteract cell in the Miscellaneous section.
