Part I. Starting with Visio 2007 Basics
In this part . . .
Visio is an amazing program! If you can imagine it, you can probably sketch it using Visio. Many people use Visio as their only drawing application because it does provide great output, but many others use it for sketching their ideas and sharing them with others. In some respects, Visio is a tool for showing your dreams to others.
Other drawing applications help you create graphics. Visio, however, is a different animal. It''s not really a drawing program, and it''s certainly not a Computer‐Aided Design (CAD) program. In this part, you understand what Visio is and what it does, you discover how to” ““speak” and” ““think” Visio, you negotiate your way around the screen, and you find out how to get help when you need it. You also print a drawing, something you''ll no doubt find useful if you want to be productive!
This part of the book also provides a complete listing of the templates that Visio provides so that you better understand what comes in the package. Of course, you can always add to these basic templates. Look at the Visio offerings as a place to start.
