Visio copying and pasting

Hi. I have 2 visio documents that I am trying to combine into 1 document. Copying and pasting (even Special Pasting) loses the formatting. Do you know of any way I can guarantee that formatting will be copied over, or any way I can copy a tab from one visio document to another (similar to Excel)?

Thanks!

RE: Visio copying and pasting

Hello Beth

Thank you for your question and welcome to the forum.

Unfortunately Visio does not have a straightforward way of copying a whole page from one file to another. It seems that this is a problem that other people have come across as well; and there isn't a simple solution to it (more information about this on the following page if you're interested: http://help.lockergnome.com/office2/Moving-Visio-Pages-Files--ftopict700832.html ).

Kind regards
Amanda
