Access PowerPoint PhotoDraw Publisher Visio is a huge, sophisticated product, with much scope for developers. However, we figured that most people visiting this part of the Office web site would be regular Office users and therefore probably not interested just yet in the development side of things.
Favourite Features Faced with a new product, it is sometimes difficult to know where to begin.
Once you have mastered the art of drawing and manipulating shapes, then you will need to know how to arrange your shapes exactly as you want them. This means using the rulers, gridlines and guides to the full. There are hundreds of pre-prepared shapes in Visio, but inevitably there will come a time when you need to create a new shape. The good news is that there are some great tools to allow you to do exactly that, and store the new shape as a master for use again and again. As with other Microsoft Office products, templates are a great way to save formats that you use regularly, and Visio is no exception.
