Page orientation in Visio

[Chris]

Can I have different page orientations in one Visio file?

 

[David Parker [Visio MVP]]

In Visio 2002, yes, but only one print orientation at a time (print job)
In Visio 2003, yes & you can have multiple print orientations (ie different
for each page)

 

[John Marshall, MVP]

To say it slightly differently, Visio has always been able to have various
orientations within a Visio file, but until Visio 2003 you could not print a
mixture of orientations. You had to print all the portrait pages, switch the
orientation of the printer then print all the landscape pages.

Can you elaborate further? I have 9 drawings on 9 pages and I want one of
the pages to print landscape versus portrait - how do I do that?
Thank you!

Choose Page Setup from the File menu and select the Print Setup tab. Change
the setup to landscape. Take a look at the Page Setup tab to make sure it is
also landscape or "same as printer" is selected.

Hi! I have tried this multiple times and I am having no luck.

All pages in my doc are set to a predfined size (not "same as printer"). 7
of my pages are landscape, 1 portrait. When I print, I get an error "one or
more drawings is oriented differently than the printed page setup).

I've triple checked to make sure none of the pages are set up to "same as
printer".

I'm using VISIO 2003. I just downloaded and installed SP2 (actually when I
tried to install SP2 it said it was installed already).

What am I doing wrong??? Any help would be appreciated!

The Page Setup dialog has two pages Page Size and Print Setup. Make sure
both are in sync.
