You can add, edit, move, format, or delete text on a connector in a similar manner as shapes.
Tips
-
The commands in the Tools group on the Home tab put Visio into a different state or mode, which admittedly can be confusing sometimes. Use the keyboard to conveniently switch between the Pointer Tool
(press Ctrl+1) and Connector 
(press Ctrl+3) tools. Whatever tool you are using, such as Text Block or Connection Point, press Esc several times to return to the Pointer Tool (except in Visio 2010). -
Use the Zoom feature to better see small details and to have more fine-point control: Zoom In (press ALT+F6), Zoom Out (ALT+SHIFT+F6), and Fit to Window (CTRL+SHIFT+W).

Enter your text in the text box.
When you are done, click outside the text box.
