Creating a Background

Visio provides several standard backgrounds which you can add to your diagram.

Step 1: From the menu on the left side of the screen, click on "Backgrounds" (A).

Step 2: Click on a design, drag it over your drawing, and drop it. You will notice that Visio has added a tab at the bottom of the drawing. One tab is labeled "Page-1", and the second is labeled "VBackground" (B). For the most part, you will be working with Page-1, but you always have the option to add content to the background page as well. The important thing to remember is that whichever page you add content to is the page you need to do your editing on.
