In visio, how do I link objects in two different packages?

[mgstrein]

I'm using visio to represent a java program. There are some interpackage
assosiations I would like to represent, but I cannot figure out how to open
the diagram for two seperate packages at the same time or show assosiation
between packages.

Is this possible and if so how?

Hi MGS,

You can have multiple windows into a document in Visio. For example, to show
different pages or different views of the same page. Just look under the
Window menu inside of Visio. You can choose New Window, then using the
Window menu again, select which page to show, or just click a tab at the
bottom of the drawing window.

For connecting shapes across pages, you might borrow the Off-page reference
from the Basic Flowchart Shapes. This shape pops up a nifty dialog that
helps you build off-page connectors that set up links between pages.
