But, as is typical Visio, there are many roads that lead to the goal. Page Turning for Power UsersĪs mentioned above, extreme Visio usage could lead to struggles with the basic page navigation controls in Visio. So let’s look at some alternatives that will expand your Visio tool set.
If you are switching pages often, a better workflow will be required. If you have lots of pages, and they have very long names, and you switch pages a lot, then fiddling with the UI controls will likely drive you nuts–regardless of whether you are using Visio 2010 or Visio 2013/2016. The “All” button helps make up for the lack of the VCR/play control, because it gives you a scrolling (if needed) list of every page in the document. Instead, as page tabs disappear off the left or right edge of the page-tab display, you simply click slightly to the left of the left-most tab, or slightly right of the right-most tab, and Visio scrolls more tabs into view. One weird side effect of this cleaner UI is that there is no obvious way to scroll the range of visible page tabs–something that VCR/play control allowed you to do.

Note that the horizontal scroll bar now occupies the full length of the drawing window, as do the page tabs. In their place, you have and “All” drop- up menu for jumping directly to pages, and a (+) button for quickly inserting new pages: In Visio 2013 and Visio 2016, the VCR/play controls are gone, as is the splitter control. horizontal scrolling control (horizontal panning of the drawing): This lets you specify what fraction of the drawing window’s width should show page tabs vs. The let you page-forward, page-backward, and jump all the way to the first or last page: In Visio 2010, you had these VCR/play controls. I said “much different”… Some page-turning controls have disappeared and been replaced over the years. In Visio 2013 and Visio 2016, it’s not much different. If you have lots of pages in your Visio document, it starts to get a bit crazy:
At the bottom of a drawing window, you have page tabs, which look very similar to what you are used to for flipping worksheets in Excel. The basics of turning Pages in Visio hasn’t changed for quite a few versions. But when your file grows to be 30 or 60 pages long (yes, people do this in Visio!), some other techniques will make your Visio-document-navigation life a bit simpler. For small documents, turning pages in Visio is pretty straightforward.
