How to have same editable element in the same position on differentdrawings

[Cristiano Siri]

Hi all,
this is my first message on this newsgroup, i've looked around if you
have already answered to this question but i was not able to find
this.

This is my problem:
I'm using Visio to document the wireframes of the pages of a new
website.
As you know every page of a website usually has the same header, so to
not draw it in each drawings i've used for it a specific background i
use in all the pages.

I need also to insert, for example, the breadcrumbs (you know that
things that remember you where on the site you are like Home >
Products > Motherboard) always in the same place of every pages.
For this i cannot use background because the element is alway the same
(a text cell) and always aligned in the same spot, but i need to edit
it for every pages, and the background feature doesn't allow it.

The breadcrumb element is just an example, but i have many items on
the pages that works the same way: same element, same position but
different text.

There's a way to avoid to add those elements on every page and align
them in the same way?

Thanks, any help is really appreciated.

Create the basic shape you want, at the required location on the page,
select the shape, menu Windows -> Show ShapeSheet and put a GUARD() on
the pinX and pinY values. Now you can just copy and paste it onto a
new page and it'll always be at the correct screen location, just edit
the text.
