ruler settings

[michiel]

Can´t find out how to set the ruler for the drawing to show in the upper
left corner.
My ruler starts in that upper left corner at -80 X and 520 Y, with the
result that I have to find the drawing somewhere in the dungeons.
Can anyone tell me how to change this?

Does the vertical zero line up with the bottom of the drawing and the
horizontal align with the left edge?

What is the zoom setting?

Yes, vertical zero lines up with left bottom, and horizontal with upper left
edge.
With that, there is a huge gap.

Changing the zoom doesn´t help.
I tried dragging the page to the upper left corner again, bit it didn´t want
to move.

Sounds like it is working normally. The page is centered in the drawing area
and the rulers are zeroed at the edges. You can zoom in to reduce the amount
of background that is visible.

But then what is this large gap good for? I don´t use this, so why would
it
show?

Good question. In Visio, you can make a drawing as large as possible. The
outline of the page indicates if your drawing is within the the page
boundaries. If you overlap the background area, that section of the drawing
will not print.

Using zoom, you should be able to control the amount of background space
that is visible. When I work on drawings, I'm zoomed to 100% and rarely see
enough of the page to see the edges.

Well OK. Bad luck it can not be changed. At least it is a comfort to know
that I didn´t cause this behaviour of Visio.

Thank you ever so much.
