Working with pictures

[Mike S.]

I am working with flow charts and pictures in Visio. I know how to open or
insert a picture in Visio. I also know how to resize by draging the corners
or using Size & Position Window tool under the view menu. Both of these
methods have their problems. The draging method requires you to zoom out to
even get to the corner, and the Size & Position Tool allows you to change the
height and width independently which does not maintain the aspect ratio.

Is there anyother way to resize the images to fit onto the work page? For
example in PowerPoint you can paste a picure into a PlaceHolder Object, and
it will be automatically sized. You can also right click and use the format
tool which has a sizing tab including locking the aspect ratio.

Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

I really just want to know if there is any easier way work with the size of
inserted pictures.

Hi,

If the aspect ratio is allowed to change, it is not difficult.
One of the ways is to set formula for shapesheet,
Width, Height, PinX, PinY, to each picture.
Width=GUARD(ThePage!PageWidth)
Height=GUARD(ThePage!PageHeight)
PinX=GUARD(Width/2)
PinY=GUARD(Height/2)
If you can make VBA macro, you can automate the works.
