Visio drawing page border/scratch area.

[Stumple]

Is there anyway to remove the default gray border/scratch area that is in a
drawing on the edge of a grid?

Thanks.

menu View -> Page Breaks

What am I looking for? That didn't do anything?

menu View -> Page Breaks

 

[David J Parker]

Tools \ Options \ Advanced \ ColorSettings
Make the background color the same as the Page color?

That's nice.

I really want to be able to remove it entirely so that a user can't scroll
off the workarea/grid. I only want a grid to show, nothing else.

Any more ideas?

I am looking for the same answer. It's annoying to have to scroll down to
the grid. I tried doing the Ctrol drag but it just makes the grid larger.

I think a major problem is that we don't know what you are talking
about.
Can you create a screenshot and put it on a webpage with an arrow
pointing to the screen area you are talking about?

When you have a drawing open and you click then 'View' menu and click 'Grid'
that is what I am talking about. If the checkbox is there you see a grid on
the page. When the checkbox is not there you don't see. The area where you
see the grid is what I want the user to see. I don't want them to see any of
the other area around it which I call the workspace otr scratch space because
it is there and continues on forever. I don't need it, don't want it, and
don't have a use for it. Do you know of anyways to remove it?

Thanks.

No. Sorry.
