Hi,

Is there a way to create a swimlane without using the Cross-Functional swimlane and be able to change the height size?

I know it can be done since someone did it at work but I do not know how he did it. Unfortunately he left and I am trying to apply changes and could not figure out how to do it?

You help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Chuck

If you have Visio Pro then you could try the swimlane shape in the UML shapes, otherwise there are 3rd-party Visio shapes that include swimlanes (there are other UML shapes available).

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the tip you provided me. I finally discovered that even using the rectangle draw shape can be used as a swimlane. I used it and works perfectly.

I have integrated  the rectangle shape from the Draw Toolbar then have placed a timeline at the top and double clicked the rectangle shape to insert a title then Linked externally to an Excel spreadsheet then inserted a task existing in the Excel spreadsheet, which domain name is the title name given to the rectangle shape, will with the timeline glue the task to a particular region within the rectangle shape.

Chuck
