I'm using the Microsoft Step by step Visio book and I'm on page 96 trying
to
apply a background to a practice file from the CD supplied with the book.
I'm using a trial copy of Visio 2007. I can't apply a background. Is
this a
known bug or an undocumented feature?
Many thanks,

Step one is to make sure you have a background page. By default it should
have "Background" in its' name, but that is not always true. The background
pages appear at the right side of the page tab list at the bottom of the
screen, so select the last tab and use Page Setup from the File menu to see
if the page is a background page. Select the Page Properties Tab. The radio
button labeled Type should indicate if it is a foreground or background
page.
Now to apply the background page to a foreground page. Select the foreground
page and display the Page Setup/Page Properties Tab. You can apply a
background page to a background page, but for now make sure the page is a
foreground page.
The second text block (labelled Background) has a drop down list of all the
background pages in the document. (This is another way to find out if there
are any background pages). From the drop down list, select the background
page you want.
