Remove unused areas of the page in Microsoft Visio diagram

Question

How do I effectively remove all the unnecessary spaces on MS Visio?

I think this question is badly worded, "blank spaces" in English refers to space characters in text, not unused areas of the drawing area, which is what I think you mean. — Paul Herber, Aug 19 '15 at 15:04
@PaulHerber, you can change the title as long as it fits the problem. It's been discussed here http://help.lockergnome.com/office2/Removing-Blank-space-Visio-drawing--ftopict503670.html with the title removing blank space from visio drawing. — Cary Bondoc, Aug 20 '15 at 00:01

You can remove it by changing the size from Letter 8.5" × 11", which is the default value, to Fit to Drawing, in the “Design” tab.

This feature doesn't work properly for me, 3 of the borders are tight to my drawing, and 1 leaves a large empty space. I checked with Ctrl+A to select all and there aren't any objects in the space. It also leaves a dashed line on the right side, which seems to be a print border. – Samuel Dec 19 '23 at 15:16

By holding Shift + dragging the edge of the canvas you can change the size of the canvas.
