Perhaps this is a more difficult problem than I described. As an example, I have a Visio page setup with 17 inch by 11 inch dimensions. But the graphics on the screen don't go right up to the edge of the page, there's about a 1 inch margin on the sides and a little bit more at the bottom.
Exporting this diagram, the source and screen sizes are 15.2 by 8.1 inches. The print size is 2.4 by 1.3. Regardless of which setting is selected, each of the outputs will automatically crop the output, and the original margin is lost. This happens even when the custom size is selected, if I enter 17 x 11, the output will be that size, but the image won't contain the margins that I thought it would.
It's as if the background of the diagram is transparent and only the images that are added will appear in the output. Even changing the transparency color in the output dialog box doesn't get it to stop doing that "automatic crop." I'm hoping that there is some setting where I can tell it to always print the background.
Thanks

When you save as jpg or gif, try setting the size to Printer instead of the default which is source. Or you can manually set the size of the image if you know how big you want it to be for the web.
