Zoho Show, one of the online office PowerPoint competitors, just announced they’ve added shapes.  Suddenly, I’m much more interested in this piece of the Zoho family.

However, I think there’s some work to be done.  Like, how do I add text to/into a symbol?  Perhaps I’m having post-release challenges, but it doesn’t seem to be possible at the moment.

   Thanks for taking note of the latest Zoho Show update, Chris!

   You can indeed associate text to shapes. Click on the ‘T’ symbol on the Zoho Show toolbar, add some text, drag-drop & place it over a shape/symbol. The blog post here - http://blogs.zoho.com/general/whats-next-in-zoho-show/ - has an illustrated example.

   Thanks Arvind. I was stuck in “Visio” mode and trying to add text directly to the shape. That way, when I move the shape, the text comes with. But I reckon I can adapt to your way — until you add that little feature.

   Yeah Chris, this is a limitation in the current methodology. We will address this requirement in future.
