I have just started working with Visio 2010. I was using Visio 2003 prior to this.
In 2003, when working with a rectangle. I was able to 'skew' the rectangle. I could single click the rectangle, hover my mouse over it and additional 'buttons' would appear between the normal 'resizing' buttons. I cannot get this to happen in 2010.
What am I doing wrong, or is there a setting I'm missing?

Tim,
I had your same issue until I went to the file => options => advanced and made sure that the 'show more shape handles on hover' was checked.

That's EXACTLY what I was looking for Al. Thanks for the direction.
As, I've said, yes, I have done that. No additional 'buttons' appear on the rectangle.
I am only able to see the 8 diamond shaped 'buttons' that are originally on the rectangle.
In 2003 additional round 'buttons' appeared between those diamond shaped 'buttons'. Those are the buttons that now do not appear when hovering over the rectangle.
I shall reword the instructions slightly:
Select the shape, click the rectangle drawing tool on the toolbar, now hover over the rectangle.
When finished click the pointer tool.
