Update duplicate page with main page changes

[mirageservo]

Hello,

I have a visio question, I was to build an application landscape using visio, (that's pretty easy) now that I have a landscape, the next thing I wanted to do is duplicate it and create a view/layout out of the first one (main), my question is, would there be any way in visio that the children (duplicate pages) be updated whenever I update the main page?

Can this be done, or can anyone suggest a more productive tool for my purpose.

Thank you,

Unclear what the goal is.  But, if you have features on the "Main" page that need to be replicated on several "child" pages, then you coulld make the Main page a background page, and have all the child pages reference the background page.

Any changes to the background page are immediately viewable by each referencing drawing page.

Apologies for the confusion,

Let me try this again,

Say I have 5 shapes in the main page numbered(text) 1 to 5, then I would duplicate the main page and call it baby page thus it will have the same no of shapes (right)?, then I will go back to the main page and update shape #2 (text) into words "Two", will this change be replicated in the baby page? (by default no) but is there a way to do it in visio?

I'll look around also for the background suggestion

Thanks in advance
