Microsoft VISIO

Overview

VISIO is a superb design package which makes creating diagrams like flow-charts and business process diagrams a snap. This course teaches how to get the most from this powerful package. It will explain the details of grouping and managing shapes, using layering and custom object properties. Attendees will explore the techniques for producing professionally finished symbols and artwork combining existing shapes with user defined shapes.

VISIO commonly works in conjunction with other Windows applications. We examine the options available for importing and moving drawings between applications and using VISIO as an OLE server. Attendees will learn how VISIO integrates into the Windows environment and can be used in conjunction with packages such as Word and Powerpoint.
