Good day, I am using a Visio 2000 (yes this version is very old, but this is what the company requires) I am to save the file to GIF image but the final output does not get the whole image correctly
I have already format the Page size to for the drawing content, but still having the same incorrect output.
Please advise

I can't go back to Visio 2000, the earliest I still have active is Visio 2003 and that doesn't show the same problem.
However, I can tell you a way around the problem.
Draw a box around all the shapes leaving a suitable margin. Format this box shape to be No Fill and set the line colour to be a very pale grey so it is only just visible (but just visible enough so you know it is there). Now do your save to GIF.

Hi, Seems there is no transparent options for the box shape – rickyProgrammer – 2017-01-19T02:32:06.930
Even better, Format -> Fill - set to No fill. – Paul Herber – 2017-01-19T16:34:13.950
Hi, no options for that also, but as a workaround, i did Shape > Sent to back. – rickyProgrammer – 2017-01-20T02:11:15.237
No fill options on the format menu? Really? – Paul Herber – 2017-01-20T15:01:09.437
there's a fill options but there is no "No Fill" option there – rickyProgrammer – 2017-01-23T02:11:06.727
Look at the options in the Fill Pattern drop-down. – Paul Herber – 2017-01-23T09:50:43.033
I don't have enough experience in Visio to post an answer, but I would not look for the page size options, as this is solely related to printing. I'd look in the drawing scale tab instead. – LPChip – 2017-01-18T09:42:26.550
very much appreciated, will post the screenshot of drawing scale – rickyProgrammer – 2017-01-18T09:49:12.907
What if you export to another format, then convert that to GIF? (I'm not hopeful, but worth a try) – Jan Doggen – 2017-01-18T09:52:14.200
still the same output. – rickyProgrammer – 2017-01-18T10:11:47.267
I would change the scale to something else, just try and see if it changes anything. – LPChip – 2017-01-18T10:15:05.880
