Add a new page in visio

New drawing files open with only one page, but you can add as many pages as you want.

By default, each new drawing page inherits the size, orientation, scale, measurement unit, shadow offset, ruler, and grid settings of the page currently displayed in the drawing window. However, you can change any of those settings for the new page.
