Changing the default page size in visio2002

[Diane]

Hi all,

I have set up a template for a series of flowcharts, which includes a
foreground page, a background page and a specific stencil. I set the
page size to A4 in the page properties (for both foreground and
background pages) for the printer paper size and made the drawing "same
as printer paper" size.

Next time I created a new document from the template, the foreground,
background and stencil are as expected, but the page size has returned
to 'Letter'.

Is there any way to make the default page size 'A4' and make it stick?
I would have preferred something like in MS Word where you set the page
size once and you can click "Default" and all the settings become your
new default settings, is there an option for this in visio 2002 (I
haven't been able to find one..). Otherwise I would have thought that
the page size that was set in the template would have been retained, in
fact that is implied in the MS Visio2002 support website.

Thanks for your time,
Diane.

Remove the "same as printer" setting. This setting will change the current
page size based on the page size of the default printer attached.
