Method 2: Use the Page Setup Dialog Box

1.Open a drawing in Visio.
2.On the File menu, click Page Setup.
3.In the Page Setup dialog box, click the Page Size tab.
4.Click Custom Size, and then enter the page dimensions that you want.

The default units for the width and height (inches, millimeters, and so on) are based on the previous size setting. For example, if the previous size was 8.5 in. x 11 in., if you enter 12 x 12, Microsoft Visio sets the page size to 12 in. x 12 in.

Note For scaled drawing pages, the size shown is calculated using the scaled size and drawing scale, and shown in the appropriate units.
5.Click OK.
