       Microsoft Office Visio 2007 is a diagramming and data visualization
        solution that makes it easy for IT and business professionals to
        visualize, analyze, and communicate complex information, systems,
        and processes.
       Office Visio 2007 makes it easy for IT and business professionals to
        visualize, analyze, and communicate complex information, systems,
        and processes. Using professional-looking Office Visio 2007
        diagrams, you can improve your understanding of systems and
        processes, gain insight into complex information, and use that
        knowledge to make better decisions for your business.
* Easily Visualize Processes, Systems, and Information
   Using Office Visio 2007, visually document, design, and fully understand
   the state of your business processes and systems with a wide range of
   diagrams, business process flowcharts, network diagrams, workflow
   diagrams, database models, and software diagrams, just to name a few.
   Make diagrams more useful by linking them with underlying data to
   provide a more complete picture.
   More easily visualize processes, systems, and complex information using
   these features in Office Visio 2007:
    - Get started quickly with templates. With Office Visio 2007 you can
      easily create diagrams using predefined SmartShapes symbols coupled
      with powerful search capabilities to locate the right shape, whether
      it is on a computer or the Web. Office Visio 2007 includes specific
      tools to support the diverse diagramming needs of IT and business
      professionals.
    - Quickly access templates you use often. Access the templates you used
      recently with the new Recent Templates view in the new Getting
      Started window that appears when you start Office Visio 2007.
    - Get inspired by sample diagrams. Find new sample diagrams more easily
      by using the Samples window. View them to get ideas for creating your
      own diagrams and to determine which template you want to use.
    - Connect shapes without drawing connectors. New connector
      functionality in Office Visio 2007 connects shapes, distributes them
      evenly, and aligns them for you--with only one click. When you move
      the connected shapes, they stay connected and the connectors
      automatically reroute between the shapes.
    - Easily connect data to diagrams and link data to shapes.
      Automatically connect diagrams to one or more data sources, such as
      Microsoft Office Excel 2007 spreadsheets or Microsoft Office Access
      2007 databases, by using the new Data Selector Wizard. Save time
      associating data with shapes by using intuitive new linking methods,
      which populate each shapes properties (also known as shape data) with
      data values. For example, link all the shapes in a diagram to rows of
      data from connected data sources by using the new Automatic Link
      Wizard.
    - Display data attractively in diagrams. Easily display data associated
      with shapes in attractive ways by using the new Data Graphics task
      pane to choose from a number of data formatting options. With a
      single click, display data fields as callouts next to a shape,
      position fields in boxes below a shape, and place fields of data
      directly on top or to the side of a shape--all using the new Data
      Graphics task pane.
    - Easily refresh data in diagrams. The new Refresh Data feature puts
      Office Visio 2007 to work for you. Use it to automatically refresh
      all the data in your diagrams so you don't have to do it manually. If
      data conflicts arise, easily resolve them by using the Refresh
      Conflicts task pane.
* Analyze Complex Information to Rapidly Gain Insight
   Using Office Visio 2007, you visually explore complex information to
   identify key trends, exceptions, and insights. Take Office Visio 2007
   even further by analyzing, drilling down into, and creating multiple
   views of business data for better business insight. Easily identify key
   issues, track trends, and flag exceptions using a library of icons and
   flags that make it easy to highlight key issues for effective action.
   Analyze complex business information by using these features in Office
   Visio 2007:
    - Visualize business data. Visually explore business data that's
      normally shown in static text and tables by using PivotDiagram views.
      Create different views of the same data to more fully understand the
      issues.
    - Identify issues, track trends, and flag exceptions. Rapidly highlight
      key issues, trends, and exceptions, and depict the progress of a
      project. The new Data Graphics task pane makes conditional formatting
      easy with good-looking and intuitive shapes, such as flags and data
      bars that can be displayed based on user-defined conditions.
    - Visually report on project information. Office Visio 2007 is an
      indispensable tool for visualizing complex project information.
      Easily generate reports directly from within Microsoft Office Project
      2007 and Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 that track project
      tasks, owners, roles, and responsibilities, and depict complex
      project ownership structures. Automatically modify the reports as
      project information changes.
* Effectively Communicate Information for Better Decision-Making
   Using Office Visio 2007, communicate with diagrams to maximize the
   impact on your audience more effectively than by using words and numbers
   alone. Share professional-looking Office Visio 2007 diagrams with
   anyone, even those who do not have Visio.
   Communicate better and in more ways to reach broader audiences by using
   these features in Office Visio 2007:
    - Communicate effectively with new shapes and diagram types. Easily
      find a template to fit your needs by using the simplified diagram
      categories in Office Visio 2007. Create a broader range of diagrams
      with new templates, such as the Windows Workflow Services template.
      Create more dynamic workflows with new 3-D Workflow shapes.
    - Design professional-looking diagrams. The new Theme Colors and Theme
      Effects task panes in Office Visio 2007 makes it easy to format the
      colors and effects in an entire diagram with a single click. Office
      Visio 2007 uses the same colors as Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
      so you can easily design professional-looking Visio 2007 diagrams
      that match your Office PowerPoint 2007 presentations.
    - Reach broader audiences. Save Office Visio 2007 diagrams in Portable
      Document Format file (PDF) to make them more portable and able to
      reach broader audiences. View Office Visio 2007 diagram attachments
      from within Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.
    - Share diagrams with anyone. Save your diagrams as Web pages complete
      with navigation controls, a shape data viewer, reports, choice of
      image format, and style sheet options. Then make the diagrams
      viewable from within Microsoft Internet Explorer on intranets and
      extranets to anyone who is using Visio Viewer with Internet Explorer.
    - Collaborate with Office Visio 2007 diagrams. Shared workspace
      functionality supports collaboration with Microsoft Windows
      SharePoint Services technology. Office Visio 2007 diagrams saved on a
      Windows SharePoint Services technology workspace can be opened
      directly in Visio 2007 from the workspace. When a diagram is opened
      from a Windows SharePoint Services workspace, Office Visio 2007 opens
      a Shared Workspace task pane that contains all of the information in
      the workspace, including other files, members, tasks, and links.
    - Annotate diagrams with digital ink. The integration of digital ink in
      Office Visio 2007 supports natural markup of existing drawings and
      free-sketch creation with the pen on the Tablet PC. Enhancements to
      simplify input with the pen and provide support for the higher-
      resolution display environment in the Tablet PC can help bring true
      mobility to scenarios.
    - Collaborate on the same Office Visio 2007 diagram. With the Track
      Markup feature, multiple people can collaborate on the same Office
      Visio 2007 diagram. Generally used for reviewing a diagram and
      incorporating feedback, the feature helps make each reviewer's
      contributions more clear to other reviewers and to the person who
      later incorporates the revisions back into the original file.
* Customize and Extend Office Visio 2007 Programmatically
   Extend Office Visio 2007 programmatically or by integrating it with
   other applications to fit your industry-specific scenarios or unique
   organizational requirements. Develop your own custom solutions and
   shapes, or use those from Visio Solution Providers.
   Customize and extend Office Visio 2007 programmatically by using these
   features:
    - Plan, analyze, and visualize your custom solutions. Visualize any
      custom solution with Office Visio 2007 diagrams, such as unified
      modeling language (UML), data flow, and Microsoft Windows user
      interface diagrams by using templates in the Software and Database
      category of Office Visio 2007.
    - Build powerful custom solutions. The Office Visio 2007 software
      development kit (SDK) can help new and existing Visio developers
      build programs with Visio 2007. The SDK includes extensive samples,
      tools, and documentation to simplify and speed up development of
      custom applications. The SDK provides a set of reusable functions,
      classes, and procedures for the most common Office Visio 2007
      development tasks and includes support for a broad range of
      development languages, including Microsoft Visual Basic, Visual Basic
      .NET, Microsoft Visual C# .NET, and Microsoft Visual C++.
    - Add Visio diagramming functionality to any context or program. With
      Office Visio 2007 and the Visio Drawing Control, create custom data-
      connected solutions that make it easy to connect to and display data
      in any context. Using the Visio Drawing Control, developers can embed
      and program the Office Visio 2007 drawing environment in custom
      applications. It opens up new opportunities for solution integration,
      making it easy to include the power of Office Visio 2007 in any smart
      client application. Because the Visio Drawing Control can be
      integrated with the host application's user interface, developers can
      take advantage of the Office Visio 2007 drawing functionality as a
      seamless part of their application without having to develop similar
      functionality themselves.
