Microsoft Visio (/ˈvɪz.i.oʊ/VIZ-ee-oh) (formerly Microsoft Office Visio) is a diagramming and vector graphics application and is part of the Microsoft Office family. The product was first introduced in 1992, made by the Shapeware Corporation. It was acquired by Microsoft in 2000.

The Professional and Premium editions of Visio 2010 include an advanced network diagram template that offers additional stencils you can use to create more sophisticated diagrams.

Use a Microsoft® Visio® diagram to create a detailed ERD using the data specificationsnoted in the Week Two Individual Assignment. Make any necessary changes provided in your faculty’s feedback. Use a Microsoft® Access® database to create the preliminary database tables, columns with data types, primary keys, and relationships.

Features[edit]

Microsoft made Visio 2013 for Windows available in two editions: Standard and Professional. The Standard and Professional editions share the same interface, but the Professional edition has additional templates for more advanced diagrams and layouts, as well as capabilities intended to make it easy for users to connect their diagrams to data sources and to display their data graphically.^[3]^[4] The Professional edition features three additional diagram types, as well as intelligent rules, validation, and subprocess (diagram breakdown).^[5] Visio Professional is also offered as an additional component of an Office365 subscription.^[6]

On 22 September 2015, Visio 2016 was released alongside Microsoft Office 2016. A few new features have been added such as one-step connectivity with Excel data, information rights management (IRM) protection for Visio files, modernized shapes for office layout, detailed shapes for site plans, updated shapes for floor plans, modern shapes for home plans, IEEE compliant shapes for electrical diagrams, new range of starter diagrams, and new themes for the Visio interface.^[7]

Database modeling in Visio revolves around a Database Model Diagram (DMD).^[8]

All of the previous versions of Visio used VSD, the proprietary binary-file format. Visio 2010 added support for the VDX file format, which is a well-documented XML Schema-based ('DatadiagramML') format, but still uses VSD by default.

Visio 2013 drops support for writing VDX files in favor of the new VSDX and VSDM file formats,^[10] and uses them by default. Created based on Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) standard (ISO 29500, Part 2), a VSDX or VSDM file consists of a group of XML files archived inside a Zip file.^[10] VSDX and VSDM files differ only in that VSDM files may contain macros.^[10] Since these files are susceptible to macro virus infection, the program enforces strict security on them.^[12]

While VSD files use LZW-like lossless compression, VDX is not compressed. Hence, a VDX file typically takes up 3 to 5 times more storage.^{[citation needed]} VSDX and VSDM files use the same compression as Zip files.

Visio also supports saving files in SVG files, other diagramming files and images. However, images cannot be opened.

History[edit]

Visio began as a standalone product produced by Shapeware Corporation; version 1.0 shipped in 1992. A pre-release, Version 0.92, was distributed free on a floppy disk along with a Microsoft Windows systems readiness evaluation utility. In 1995, Shapeware Corporation changed their name to Visio Corporation to take advantage of market recognition and related product equity. Microsoft acquired Visio in 2000, re-branding it as a Microsoft Office application. Like Microsoft Project, however, it has never been officially included in any of the bundled Office suites (although it was on the disk for Office 2003 and could be installed if users knew it was there^{[citation needed]}). Microsoft included a Visio for Enterprise Architects edition with some editions of Visual Studio .NET 2003 and Visual Studio 2005.^[13]

Along with Microsoft Visio 2002 Professional, Microsoft introduced Visio Enterprise Network Tools and Visio Network Center. Visio Enterprise Network Tools was an add-on product that enabled automated network and directory services diagramming. Visio Network Center was a subscription-based website where users could locate the latest network documentation content and exact-replica network equipment shapes from 500 leading manufacturers.^[14] The former has been discontinued, while the latter's shape-finding features are now integrated into the program itself.^[15] Visio 2007 was released on November 30, 2006.

Microsoft Visio adopted ribbons in its user interface in Visio 2010.^[16]Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access and Outlook (to some extents) had already adopted the ribbon with the release of Microsoft Office 2007.^[17]

November 19, 2012: BPMN^[18]^{[circular reference]} 2.0 was utilized within Microsoft Visio.^[19]

There are no Visio versions 7, 8, or 9, because after Microsoft acquired and branded Visio as a Microsoft Office product, the Visio version numbers followed the Office version numbers. Version 13 was skipped due to triskaidekaphobia. Kenny edwards.

Visio does not have a Mac OS X version, which has led to the growth of several third party applications which can open and edit Visio files on Mac.

On 7 May 2001, Microsoft introduced Visio Enterprise Network Tools (VENT), an add-on for Visio 2002 scheduled for release on 1 July 2001, and Visio Network Center, a subscription-based web service for IT professionals who use Microsoft Visio for computer network diagramming.^[20] VENT was discontinued on 1 July 2002 because of very low customer demand.^[21]

Create diagrams

This chapter from Microsoft Word 2016 Step By Step guides you through procedures related to creating diagrams, modifying diagrams, and creating picture diagrams in Microsoft Word 2016.

Diagrams are graphics that convey information. Business documents often include diagrams to clarify concepts, describe processes, and show hierarchical relationships. Word 2016 includes a powerful diagramming feature called SmartArt that you can use to create diagrams directly in your documents. By using these dynamic diagram templates, you can produce eye-catching and interesting visual representations of information.

SmartArt graphics can illustrate many different types of concepts. Although they consist of collections of shapes, SmartArt graphics are merely visual containers for information stored as bulleted lists. You can also incorporate pictures and other images to create truly spectacular, yet divinely professional, diagrams.

This chapter guides you through procedures related to creating diagrams, modifying diagrams, and creating picture diagrams.

Create diagrams

Sometimes the concepts you want to convey to an audience are best presented in diagrams. You can easily create a dynamic, appealing diagram by using SmartArt graphics, which visually express information in predefined sets of shapes. You can use SmartArt graphics to easily create sophisticated diagrams that illustrate the following concepts:

List These diagrams visually represent lists of related or independent information—for example, a list of items needed to complete a task, including pictures of the items.
Process These diagrams visually describe the ordered set of steps that are required to complete a task—for example, the steps for getting a project approved.
Cycle These diagrams represent a circular sequence of steps, tasks, or events, or the relationship of a set of steps, tasks, or events to a central, core element—for example, the looping process for continually improving a product based on customer feedback.
Hierarchy These diagrams illustrate the structure of an organization or entity—for example, the top-level management structure of a company.
Relationship These diagrams show convergent, divergent, overlapping, merging, or containment elements—for example, how using similar methods to organize your email, calendar, and contacts can improve your productivity.
Matrix These diagrams show the relationship of components to a whole—for example, the product teams in a department.
Pyramid These diagrams illustrate proportional or interconnected relationships—for example, the amount of time that should ideally be spent on different phases of a project.

The layout of content in a SmartArt diagram is controlled by a behind-the-scenes bulleted list. When creating a SmartArt diagram in Word, you choose a layout first, and then populate the associated list in a window called the Text pane.

The dialog box from which you choose the SmartArt graphic layout displays monochromatic representations of the layouts—this is only so that the colors don’t confuse the process of choosing a layout. The actual colors of the SmartArt diagram are based on the color scheme of the document, and you can choose from several different color patterns. The categories in the left pane of the dialog box are not mutually exclusive, so some diagrams appear in more than one category.

Word 2016 includes about 200 SmartArt templates

Clicking a layout in the Choose A SmartArt Graphic dialog box displays a color mockup of the diagram and information about any restrictions on the number of entries or list levels that the layout supports.

The detailed description of the selected SmartArt diagram can help you choose the right diagram for your needs

Microsoft Visio Diagram To Create A Detailed Erd Using Microsoft Office

After you choose a layout, Word inserts the basic diagram into the document and displays the Text pane containing placeholder information. You can enter more or less information than is required by the original diagram.

When you enter text in either the Text pane or the selected shape, that text also appears in the other location

Microsoft Visio Diagram To Create A Detailed Erd Using Microsoft Word

You can insert and modify text either directly in the diagram shapes or in the associated Text pane. (You can hide the Text pane when you’re not using it, and redisplay it if you need it.) The Text pane might display only a single-level bulleted list, or a multiple-level list if the diagram layout supports multiple levels. You can expand the diagram either by adding more list items or by adding more shapes. Some diagram layouts support a specific number of entries and others can be expanded significantly.

The number of items displayed by a diagram can be expanded or reduced to convey the precise meaning you want to convey

In layouts that support additional entries, the diagram shapes change to accommodate the content. Within a diagram, the shape size and font size always stay consistent. If a text entry is too long to fit a shape, the text size changes in all the shapes.

Word keeps your SmartArt diagrams looking professional by automatically adjusting text size as needed

To create a diagram in a document

Position the cursor in the document where you want to insert the diagram.
Do either of the following to open the Choose a SmartArt Graphic dialog box:
Jprofiler license keygen 2017 full version 2017. Web and Email Protection: Block any unsafe links, downloads, and email attachments Hacker Attack Protection: The enhanced firewall protection ensures your private data; files, photos, and passwords remain secure. Private Data Protection: You can encrypt and hide your private documents, or you can permanently shred any data you choose. Payment Protection: It doesn’t matter if you are browsing, shopping, or banking, AVG provides the added protection you need.
- On the Insert tab, in the Illustrations group, click the SmartArt button.
- Press Alt+N+M.
In the left pane, select a type of diagram. Then in the center pane, select a diagram layout thumbnail to view an example, along with a description of what the diagram best conveys, in the right pane.
Click OK to insert the selected diagram at the cursor.

To enter text into diagram shapes

If the Text pane isn’t open, select the diagram, and then do either of the following:
- Click the chevron on the left side of the diagram frame to open the Text pane.
- On the Design tool tab for SmartArt (not the regular document Design tab), in the Create Graphic group, click the Text Pane button.
In the Text pane, select the first placeholder, and enter the text you want to display in the corresponding shape. Notice that the content you enter in the bulleted list appears immediately in the corresponding diagram shape. Then do any of the following:
- Press the Down Arrow key to move to the next placeholder.
- At the beginning of a list item, press Tab to increase the indent level of the current list item.
- At the end of a list item, press Enter to add an item to the bulleted list and add a shape to the diagram.
- Press Delete to remove an unused list item.
Repeat step 2 until you’ve entered all the diagram content.
You can use the Text pane both to easily enter text and to quickly review your text for errors
In the Text pane, click the Close button (the X).
