Swim Lane Titles
I have two questions regarding swim lanes.
1. Is it possible to freeze the panes such that when I scroll right, I can see what lane I'm in? 2. Is it possible to set it up so that when I print the document, the titles of the swim lanes will print on each page? |

Swim Lane Titles
1. There is no automatic 'locking' mechanism like Freeze for the headings
in Visio, such as there is in Excel. However, you can do some things manually that may help, such as add a semi-transparent color to the swim lane to make it easier to know which one you are dropping shapes onto. Also, you can open a second window for your drawing page, and tile them. Zoom into one and work in detail, while the other shows the overall page, for instance. 2. If you Insert a new drawing page, you are automatically prompted to copy the functional bands to the new page. If you choose OK, then your new page will have the same headers (and colors) as the first page. For existing drawings, of course, this option is not as helpful - but you might choose to rearrange the drawing onto multiple pages and use the Off-page references to keep synced up.
