Answer 1

Hi, you can change font size with code

shpObj1.Cells("Char.size").FormulaU = "7.40 pt"

What you mean as style ?

Answer 2

Text Style in Visio is a set of settings of text such as font type, font size, font color, line spacing and so on. If you apply text style to shape, this make shape parameters according style settings. But since version 2007 in Visio was added Themes, the Styles have become obsolete, but they still exist, but you have to try very hard to find them in the user interface! May be you mean font type ? ![165027-font-type.png][1] [1]: /api/attachments/165027-font-type.png?platform=QnA
