How to combine drawings that used different scales?

[Bill R]

I am supposed to be converting a batch of visio system diagrams to one giant
drawing or at least put them in the same format and scale. Some where done
with 10-12 fonts covering several pages, others with 6-8 fonts crammed into
one page. I tried just simply expanding the shapes but the text stay static.
Is there a way to set the text so that it automatically increases font size
if the shape it is in expands?

Or are there some other methods for converting smaller scaled documents to
larger sizes?

Hi Bill,

One cheap trick is to simply increase the page size, then reduce the
print-output to fit a page. Go to:

File > Page Setup > Page Size Tab

and increase the size of the page.

Then, when you print, you can reduce the drawing to fit on a printed page by
selecting "Print on 1 page across by 1 page down"
