Hello people,
First post on this forum, pretty new to Visio.
Is it possible to have the name of a drawing the same as the page name?

If you right-click page-1 and choose rename page, I want the title box to reflect the name change. eg: page-1 new name 'Test' then the title box will automatically change to 'Test'

Does this make sense? is it possible?

Cheers
Colin
 
rs2k,

I know of no "snap-in" that will automate this. I believe that you will have to manually match them.

This would be a good tool for MS to adopt but I won't hold my breath.

rvnguy,
Thanks for replying, however, I may have not used the correct terminology in my post (Like I said, new to Visio) I found the answer with trial and error. When the 'Title Box'(?) is highlighted, Insert|Field - then you can choose various options, and one of them was page name, I clicked that and it worked.

Many thanks
Colin.
 
rs2k,

Thank You for posting back. Yeah that is what I was refering to as manually matching. I did read your post as looking for an automatic way to link any change.

Glad that you have a method that satifies you.

The title block is usually applied to a background page and the name of the page entered by using the Insert Field menu item. Any page that this background is attached to will show the title block and the correct page name.
