Navigation to page number not available in Visio

[StéF]

There is no usable way to navigate between pages, in Visio, compared to
Winword. In Winword, you can make Ctrl + G, and give the page number you want
to go to. It's very convenient. It should be the same for Visio.
In my document with 150 pages, if I want to go from page 40 to page 123,
it's a lot of burden to move along the tabs! Page numbers appear when
printing. Visio should enable to quickly jump to a specific page. It could
also be like double-clicking at the bottom of the page, on page number, and
inputing the desired page number.

Hi,

It is sure that todays Visio has not the function to navigate to other page.
If my memory is correct, early Visio (mau be Visio 2 to 4) had context menu
to jump to other page in the page tabs.
But I think there is a way to add such a function with custom macro.
for exaple.
Sub Macro1()
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+j
'
Dim I As Long
I = InputBox("Jump to ")
ActiveWindow.Page = ActiveDocument.Pages(I)
End Sub
--
Best Regards.

Hello Stef,

Have you tried Edit / Go To / Page... ?

Also, something to look forward to, in Visio 2010 you'll also get this
functionality by right clicking on the tab arrows as per Excel.

Best regards

John

Hi June

I thought of that, but as I didn't want to create a macro in every document,
and I didn't find how to have it available to all documents, I gave it up
then. When I record a macro, I have only the possibility to save it in
"Current document", there is no normal.dot like in Winword, where I can store
common macros :-(

You can store Macros in Stencils, which can be opened/docked in any
document, then the code is available for running.

.....Another option would be to use DOCMD(1077) in a shape master.

For example, you could add that to the EventDblClick cell in the Events
section of you master shape (or master shape's page) shapesheet. This would
raise the GoTo page dialog.

Best regards

Thanks to all for your suggestions. I used actually the easiest, which I
first didn't notice : Edit / Go To / Page .

As we have heaps of documents, it will be the simplest way, as I can't
modify all our documents.
