This article describes the two ways that you can insert new
blank pages into your Microsoft Office Visio drawing.
Back to the top
Each Visio drawing contains at least one
foreground page and may also contain one or more background pages. A background
is a page that appears behind a foreground page.
NOTE: Create a background page when you want the same shape to appear
on more than one drawing page. For example, you can place a common graphical
element, such as a company logo or a border, on a background. The element will
appear on each page to which you assign the background. You can assign only one
background to each foreground, but each background can also have a background,
so you can use backgrounds to create a layered effect.

Method 1: Use the Page Tab in the Drawing
