Visio repertoire is vast to say the least and it certainly lives to its claim of being a full featured diagramming tool!

As soon as you launch Visio, you are presented with a range of drawing choices that include:

block diagrams,
building plans,
databases,
engineering (electric, mechanical and process) models,
flowcharts,
forms and charts,
maps,
visual networks,
organization charts,
project schedules,
software structures, and,
web diagrams…

… these were only the default choices…

Visio’s abilities can be expanded with many more Microsoft and third party extensions that are based on stencils, templates and drawings!

(Like other Office programs, Visio is also completely VBA enabled.)

Getting back to basics, assistance within Visio is available from its excellent help system – which also includes six lessons that get you started with beginning a diagram, moving and resizing shapes, adding text, connecting and formatting shapes and putting it all together. Needless to add, the lessons are highly recommended.

In addition, Visio itself has several wizards – which make tasks easier for beginners.
