Microsoft Visio is known for its drag-and-drop simplicity, but there is more to this best-selling diagramming software package. Specifically, you can customize and program Visio. Learn Microsoft Visio 2002 for the Advanced User discusses customization features that enable you to adapt Visio to particular applications and to the way you work. These include modifying the workspace, understanding the importance of ShapeSheet sections, and linking Visio drawings to external database files. Additionally, the authors guide you through the basics of programming Visio 2002 using Visual Basic for Applications, which allows you to create user interfaces and write macros. The appendixes include a listing of mouse and keyboard shortcuts and an introduction to the XML format in Visio 2002.
Numerous step-by-step tutorials illustrate the customization features. All of the files used in the tutorials are available for download at www.wordware.com/advvisio.
