Dynamic Page Sizing in Visio

Chris Hopkins

In Visio 5.0 you can use the pointer tool to increase the size of the drawing page by dragging the edges of the page to a new location.

With the pointer tool selected, hold down the Ctrl key and place the mouse pointer over an edge or corner of the drawing page. You should see the cursor change into a directional arrow.

At this point hold down the left mouse button and drag the edge or corner of the page to the desired location.

The new page size is correctly shown in File > Page Setup | Page Size

Take note that dynamically changing the size of the drawing page will not alter the location or size of your drawing and it will not change the location of the page origin.
