Re: How to Make Pages AND Background Fit on Paper?

I don't totally understand what the problem is, but I think it's similar to
a problem I recently had.

Visio has a weakness, where if foreground pages have different sizes, then a
single background page doesn't work very well.

I ended up making a titleblock shape, putting it on a locked layer, and
dropping it on every page. I got rid of the background page altogether.

I have a three-page Visio 2000 diagram; one page is background. As usual,
when I had finished developing it, it did not fit on the paper (even if it
did then it still would not be central).

Below is what I had to do to print a page on a single *** of paper:
1 In Page Setup. Set printer paper size for all pages
2 Find the page with the largest area, on Page Setup click match printer.
Change scale until all items fit on page.
3 For all other pages, including background, change scale to same as 2
4 On background page - click centre drawing
5 For each other page - select all then move into alignment with
background

This is ridiculous. Surely there is a better way of doing this? I have
the
'professional' edition which appears to be anything but.

cheers, Davy
