Viso Page Setup - Portrait vs Landscape

[Jason Miller]

Is there any way to have one page in Visio be landscape
and another page be portrait in the SAME drawing?

Thanks!

It depends what you mean by drawing. A Visio file (*.vsd) can contain
several drawings. When printed, the drawing may print over several pages.
If you are referring to a drawing that prints over several pages, the answer
is no.

If you are referring to the drawings within the Visio file, the answer is
yes. The key thing to be careful about is that there is only one printer
definition in the current releases of Visio and you will have to change the
orientation of the printer to match the drawing. Page Setup is run for each
drawing and the item "Same as Printer" should be unselected.

One can also orient the view of the page (which also
orients the work direction AFAIK). For instance, a
portrait drawing can be viewed and worked on by viewing
it rotated 90 degrees cw or ccw.

Make sure page rotation is enabled in Tools|Options under
the General tab. In blank drawing area, right-click and
choose View|View as Vertical. Pay attention to the
shadow of the page area as this will clue you in to which
way your view is oriented. Calling for View|View as
Vertical again will rotate the view 180 degrees. Call
for View|View as Horizontal once or twice to reset to
standard or to achieve an upside down perspective.
