Course Description
In this module, we will cover how modifying the structure and layout of a page is just as important as working on the Diagram itself. In these lessons, you will learn how to shape and modify the actual page in Microsoft Visio. Changing the page's size and controlling the page's auto-sizing becomes important as your diagrams get larger. We will explain how adding Backgrounds, Borders, and Title to a page can also make it easier for a viewer to identify the purpose of a particular drawing.
We will also explore how you can change the page size to guarantee you have enough room for larger drawings. Modifying a Drawing with the layout tools will quickly change the direction of a layout if we change our mind about the direction of a process. We will also explain how you can determine what kinds of connectors your shapes will use. By the time we are finished with this section, you’ll have a better idea of how to change the page structure and layout in Microsoft Visio.
