RE: backgrounds

Hello Tansy,

Thanks for your question and welcome to the forum.

You need to create a background page as follows:

Insert - New Page - Background - Ok

and then Insert the image you would like to use as the background as follows:

Insert - Picture - From file

Then position the image as desired and attach the background to the required foreground pages as follows:

Go to the foreground page then - File - Page Setup - Page Properties tab - select from the Background drop down the desired background page - Ok.

Thanks and Kind regards

Maggie

Visio tip:

Using the Quick Access Toolbar in Visio 2010

The Quick Access Toolbar is included in virtually every Office product, including Visio 2010 as well as Outlook 2010, Word 2010, Excel 2010, and PowerPoint 2010.

You will find the Quick Access Toolbar in the top-left side of the window. To begin, click the Customize button (it's the little black arrow at the end of the toolbar).

Simply click the commands you want to include.

Virtually any command can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Click the More Commands option and a new window will open from where you can browse the commands including those not on the ribbon.
