Visio Guy

I have about 10 pages, put together from separate 1 page drawings.
I am trying to see it as what Visio shows as a Diagram.

The pages do not flow one from another in scroll but are separated and have to navigated as separate pages.
I want to display it as, say, a Power-Point that connects each of the pages; So that I cannot scroll one to another.

It does not even save as ppt.

Thanks

Could you probably use a single Visio page, and put your slides one next to the other..
Is it an option?

Or you can use powerpoint, and insert Visio drawings into the slides (like you do with pictures)

I probably could.
However, I was wanting to convert this one into that style.

Since some templates are already in the connected pages format, I figured it should be a do-able task.
And I should not have to do a work around for it.

Maybe I don't fully get what you want to achieve.
There is no "ribbon", or "film" view feature in Visio (like the one you can find in PowerPoint or Adobe PDF viewer for example)
It simply does not exist, and (AFAIK) never existed. Am I missing something?

Well, there is "presentation mode" (F5) - maybe this is what you are looking for?
If not, why do you use Visio exactly, if you want PowerPoint?

May be a good idea for some simple extension though.

Probably fairly simple VBA macro

For 1 in pages
   Select page
   old time = now()
   wait old time + 1 sec
next

kind of thing (above is conceptual, need to find the specific syntax)

or save as PDF might do what you want ...

It is not just the ribbon view on the side that I want.
In the diagram view the pages seem to be connected; One can get a overview of the grid at zoom-out and scroll through the pages.

My drawings, on the other hand, do not scroll into the next page.
I can select and page down into the next slide, Or jump slides in presentation mode.

I was not sure if I am missing something when I was trying to convert my set of 8 "Drawings" into a 8x1 "Diagram".

I thank people for their inputs.

Then you probably want a single Visio "page" (that consists of 8 "printer" pages), set in one line one-by-one.
Means, you just put the drawings on a single Visio page, basically;
Visio will split that by "printer" pages automatically (when printing).

Check out Design => Page Setup, also View => Page Breaks

"Page" in visio is a logical page, it's not exactly a "printer" page.
You can print a single visio "page" on multiple physical pages.

well you could also do this

- put 1 of N (finite max number) sheets on different layers in a visio page
- could get 2N if you use a background page as well.
- would need some control (manual, sure np....automated, probably need some VBA) to turn layers on and off.

If end game is static (full picture..not building something), you can save each page as png with transparent background....then import them
to a single visio page and stack them up  (sort of a manual layering approach with no on and off control unless VBA to show hide/picture)

Thanks Nikolay.
That makes a lot of sense to me now.

And Thanks everybody
