Pan + Zoom

Why does the Pan + Zoom window not change orientation along with the
document. I have rotated my document 90º and pan + zoom is still
oriented vertically.

Hey CMB,

The Pan & Zoom window is oriented to whichever shape you stretch it, isn't
it? If you stretch it to be low and wide, it stays that way regardless of
the page orientation. You cna pull it off and make it a floating window and
make it any size you want -- oh but I see now that you're talking about
actually rotating the page (a feature that not many know about!)

Yes, it looks like this is a limitation of Visio. I beleive that page
rotation was intended as a "temporary tool" - to allow you to arrange the
user to work "rightside up" for some rotated portion of a drawing, with the
idea that the user would eventually rotated the page back to zero and resume
with business as usual.

Rotating the page is not intended as the way to switch between Portrait and
Landscape. This is what the Page > Setup dialog is for.

Since you were so helpful before, I am wondering how to set the
defaults for text tools. I want to use a smaller font and Bold, but it
always defaults to certain size.

Hi

For text in shapes from a stencil there is no default settings. You can
change the font of the original shape in stencils you create yourselvef or an
even better way is to change the style of the shape. Select a shape and then
choose Format>Define Styles and click on Text to set the default for that
style.
