New Business Diagramming Features Richer Internet Support Image Control Capabilities Compatible With Microsoft Products Compatible With Previous Versions Unequalled Solutions Platform Total Cost of Ownership Richer Internet Support Richer Internet support allows users to instantly publish business and technical diagrams in a variety of Web-ready formats, as well as embed hyperlinks to relevant external information. The hyperlinks appear on the right-click shortcut menu. When users link one shape to another in a different drawing, Visio 2000 automatically opens that drawing and zooms to the appropriate level. For example, a user might hyperlink from a shape representing a person in an organization chart to the office location for that person in a floor plan.
Shapes can have more than one hyperlink, which appear on the right-click shortcut menu.
Once users create drawings, they can publish and share them easily on the Web, their corporate intranet or via e-mail. With VML support, users can pan, zoom and navigate through multiple-page drawings in the Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 browser with no additional software. VML-based graphics download much more quickly than conventional raster Web graphics, such as GIF and JPEG images. All rights reserved.
