Combining Visio files

[Randall Arnold]

Not to sound facetious, but-- copy and paste?

How can we combine two separate Visio files into one
without losing formatting.

 

[Lori Pearce \(MSFT\)]

There is no seamless, easy, reliable way to do this. This is a reasonably
frequent request that's been sent to the dev team by me personally many
times. I remain hopeful.

In the meantime, Randall is correct. Try de-select All, Edit>Copy Drawing,
Edit>Paste onto new page in new document. Don't forget your background
pages.

Sorry this is such a pain. I wish I had a better answer.

Hi Lori,

You can send the request to the development team one more time for me! If it worked similarly to the PowerPoint 2000 slide sorter, let me view thumbnails of a bunch of pages in side-by-side windows, and then let me drag pages from hither to yon, it would be just about perfect.

I'm in the midst 64 page (and growing) design document with two of us banging in pages at a ferocious clip. It's already hard enough to coordinate without the tedium of cut and paste merging.

Thanks,

Ed

I'll send it off one more time (I like the angle of saying that PowerPoint
does it so why not Visio).

Yes, this is a popular request - right behind the ability to replace shapes
in a diagram. We're looking at the feasibility of such a feature.
