visio training uk - What else can it do?!

What else can it do?!

Visio seems mainly to be diagrams and org charts etc, Hyperlinks are useful as is inserting the vast pictures, Does it do anything else? Is there more drawing free hand that can be achieved?

RE: What else can it do?!

Hi Yvette,

I'm not going to attempt to give you details of what I think Visio can do (having not much experience with it myself), but I will point you to This URL which is an article talking about what Visio can be used for!

As far as free hand drawing in Visio goes, my sources indicate it's not the best tool for this purpose. "...is a drawing and diagramming tool ... turn business and technical concepts into visual diagrams but doesn't feel comfortable drawing freehand." (CNet reviews)

Adobe Fireworks may be a good freehand drawing tool, which may be able to export nicely to Visio? If not Adobe, then plenty of other software packages out there that will be able to do it.

I hope this helps, Yvette!

Regards, Rich
