Book Description
MICROSOFT VISIO VERSION 2002 INSIDE OUT is an excellent reference to Visio version 2002 drawing and diagramming software for PC "super users". Complete in one volume, this book provides a thorough overview of the most-used features and functions of Microsoft's popular diagram management program. The book provides the information advanced users really need. It delivers comprehensive information about getting started with Visio, diagramming assets, planning projects and presentations, and customizing and saving shapes. Throughout the book you'll find a wealth of timesaving Visio tips and tricks, troubleshooting techniques, and indexes, plus a CD-ROM that holds an electronic version of the book's text, handy Web links, sample macros and code, tutorials, utilities, and additional third-party software. This is the authoritative handbook you'll keep by your computer and use whenever you're stuck or stumped!
Customer Reviews & Comments
As can be expected in a book published by the software vendor, this is a sanitized overview of Visio 2002. While it teaches how to use Visio, it fails to get into any great detail of problems users might encounter -- as is the case with Visio. For example, the chapter on translating drawings from a CAD package, such as AutoCAD, fails to mention the objects that disappear from Visio; that Visio can't handle a large converted CAD drawing (Visio slows down to a grind), etc. The book gushes over Task Panes, but really -- Visio 2002 has just two (Open and Search) -- big deal. Also missing from the book are features dropped from Visio 2002, such as: - Geographic Solution - Build Region command - Flags stencil - Print Shapesheet All in all, the sort of effort you would expect from a book that might have been edited by the marketing department. In any case, why would Microsoft have to publish a _book_ on how to use Visio? Does this mean the documentation provided with the software is poor? A fat book, but not worth buying. I found David Plotkin's "Visio 2000: Visual Insight" the best book so far, and look forward to it being updated for 2002.
