Visio | Copy Foreground and Background

In Visio when you select all shapes and do Ctrl + C (Copy), it only copies the foreground. To include the background in the copied shape, follow these steps:
  1. Click on an empty space to deselect all
  2. Select Edit -> Select by type...
  3. Click None and OK
  4. Select Edit -> Copy Drawing
Now the background will be included in the copied diagram.
