How do I get 1 text box to show the text of another text box

[Mark Hollander]

Hi All,

We are currently busy with our ISO certification and one of the requirements
that is needed is that the version number of the document needs to be
displayed on all pages. I have a text box on page one that contains the
revision number and I would like to be able to place text boxes on the other
pages that will show the text of the text box on the first page. This way I
only need to change the revision in one place and it will then automatically
change on the subsequent pages.

In Excel it was simple, just add the formula =Sheet1!A1, how can I do it in
visio?

Mark,

In Visio you use a background page to manage this. You can find out more
about how to use background pages at the following url:

Hope this helps.
