Where is Shape Menu in Microsoft Visio 2010 and 2013

• It is much easier to find shape menu in Visio 2010/2013/2016/2019 if you are using Classic Menu for Office
• If you have not Classic Menu for Office (find scattered menu in the ribbon)

There is obviously not shape menu on the ribbon interface of Microsoft Visio 2010 and 2013, as all the items of shape menu have been scattered to display at different places in the ribbon. It is easy to bring back shape menu in Microsoft Visio using classic menu style, or you can choose to find those items one by one searching the ribbon.

If you are using Classic Menu for Office...

With classic menu style, Classic Menu for Office Software allows you to find shape menu like in Visio 2007 and Visio 2003. On the Menus tab, you can see Shape menu outlined in red.

If you have not using Classic Menu for Office...

Unlike classic menu style interface, you can not find all the items from a group in shape menu, like Group, Order, Operations, Position, Space Shapes and Connectors, etc. The below instructions will list some way to find parts of shape menu commands in the ribbon.

Take Position for example, on the Home tab, go to the Arrange group at the right corner, and you can see the Postion dialogue box. Click Position, and you will find Auto Align, Space Shapes and Rotate.

See it below:

Also, on the Design tab, Re-Layout Page and Connectors commands can be found at the rightmost hand in the ribbon. But if you want to know where Operations lies in the ribbon, sorry that operations is not in the ribbon and you have to customize it by yourself.
