Course Objectives

Welcome to Seven Institute’s course for Microsoft Office Visio, Microsoft’s diagramming application. This new version of Visio now uses the ribbon interface. Other new features include Auto Align and Space, improved AutoConnect, many improved diagram types, and other tools that will make creating diagrams easier.

This Advanced level is intended to help everyday users become familiar with the ability to customize Visio drawings using advanced features such as legends and master shapes. This course will also help more experienced users create advanced diagrams, such as the PivotDiagram.

This course will cover adding data to shapes, using advanced markup tools, adding advanced shapes and legends to a diagram, as well as the creation of PivotDiagrams. By the end of this course users should be comfortable using the more advanced features found in Visio to assist in the creation and implementation of complex diagrams.
