How can I change the text position of connector?

When I label a connector, the text appears at the midpoint. I can manually change its position. What I basically want to do, is either a) to place the text close to the end (arrow) or b) at its beginning.

I do not want to move all labels manually. So any way how to format all labels at once?


Solution 1:

Possible in Visio 2010+

Here you can take an example file (save it as .vdx and open in Visio 2010)

Right-click context menu "Text orientation" allow you to choose a position of the label along the path.

Solution 2:

As of Visio 2016 use the Text Block function enter image description here
