General
information:
Microsoft Office Visio 2007 makes it easy for IT and business professionals to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Go from complicated text and tables that are hard to understand to Visio diagrams that communicate information at a glance. Instead of static pictures, create data-connected Visio diagrams that display data, are easy to refresh, and dramatically increase your productivity. Use the wide variety of diagrams in Office Visio 2007 to understand, act on, and share information about organizational systems, resources, and processes throughout your enterprise.
Benefits
Visualize Complex
Information
Using Office
Visio 2007, easily understand the current state of your key processes,
resources, and systems by visualizing them using a wide range of Visio diagrams.
In the new
Getting Started window that appears when you start Office Visio 2007, quickly
find the template you need by browsing simplified template categories and using
large template previews. Access the templates you used recently with the new
Recent Templates view in the Getting Started window.
The new
Getting Started window makes it easy to find the templates you use often.
Use the new
Samples category in the Getting Started window to more easily find new sample
diagrams that are integrated with data and included in Office Visio Professional
2007. View them to get ideas for creating your own diagrams. You can also look
at them to see how data provides more context for many diagram types and to
determine which template you want to use.
New
AutoConnect 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.
Connecting shapes in Office Visio 2007 has become even easier.
Using Office
Visio Professional 2007, explore business information to identify key data
trends, issues, and exceptions, and act on them.
Connect
diagrams to one or more data sources, such as Microsoft Office Excel®
spreadsheets or Microsoft Office Access databases, by using the new Data Link
functionality in Office Visio Professional 2007. Save time associating data with
shapes by using intuitive new linking methods. For example, link all the shapes
in a diagram to rows of data from connected data sources by using the new
Automatic Link Wizard.
Easily
display data associated with shapes in attractive ways by using the new Data
Graphics feature in Office Visio Professional 2007 to choose from a number of
data formatting options.
Visualize
data as text, data bars, or icons and use color-coding to identify trends and
issues.
The new
Refresh Data feature puts Office Visio Professional 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, resolve them easily by using the Refresh
Conflicts task pane, also included with Office Visio Professional 2007.
Visually
explore business data that’s normally shown in static text and tables by using
PivotDiagrams, a new diagram type in Office Visio Professional 2007. Rapidly
identify key issues, modify PivotDiagrams on the fly, and create different views
of the same data to more fully understand the real issues.
PivotDiagrams show data in a hierarchical form of data groups and totals.
Office Visio
2007 is an indispensable tool for visualizing complex project information.
Easily generate reports directly from within Microsoft Office Project and
Microsoft Office SharePoint® Portal Server 2003 that track project tasks,
owners, roles, and responsibilities, and depict complex project ownership
structures. Automatically modify the reports as project information changes.
Using Office
Visio 2007, communicate effectively using professional-looking diagrams. Share
diagrams with anyone, even those who don’t have Visio installed on their
computer.
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 ITIL (Information Technology Infrastructure Library) template and the
Value Stream Mapping template in Office Visio Professional 2007. Create more
dynamic workflows with new 3-D Work Flow shapes.
The new
Theme feature in Office Visio 2007 makes it easy to format the colors and
effects in an entire diagram with a single click. Office Visio 2007 even uses
the same colors as other 2007 Microsoft Office system programs, so you can
easily design professional-looking diagrams that match your documents and
presentations.
Quickly
choose from a wide variety of professional-looking color and effects themes in
the task pane.
Save Office
Visio 2007 diagrams as PDFs or in the new XPS file format to make them more
portable and reach broader audiences. View Visio diagram attachments from within
Microsoft Office Outlook 2007. View Visio diagrams - even if you don’t have
Visio installed on your computer - within Microsoft Internet Explorer by
downloading and installing the free Visio Viewer. Save your diagrams as Web
pages complete with navigation controls, a shape data viewer, reports, choice of
image format, and style sheet options.
Note: you
can save as a PDF or XPS file from a 2007 Microsoft Office system program only
after you install an add-in.
