The image on this page tells nothing about the function of Visio, or how it might appear in normal use. 72.224.125.143 23:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Would this propertly be categorized as a UML Tool? I can't seem to find how to save a file as UML from Visio...--198.62.72.2 16:58, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

There's a UML template with some built in features to store data in the objects. It's not a file format per say, and not the focus of the application. Kuru ^talk 23:12, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Moved from page

For IT and Business Professionals who need to quickly understand, act upon and share complex information about systems, resources and processes, Microsoft Office Visio 2007 is the diagramming program that offers an easy way to visualize, explore and communicate information.

[edit] Advertisment

The 3rd paragraph on this page sounds like an advertisment.

Unlike complicated text and tables, Visio diagrams can be easier for humans to understand. Unlike static pictures, Visio diagrams can import and store data, display it visually, and can be refreshed and reused.

This seems to imply that only Visio has these advantages, whereas most diagramming tools have these advantages. To name 3: OpenOffice.org Draw, Xfig and Dia. This paragraph would be all right if it as clearly marked as Microsofts tagline but it isn't. I notice already that one section has been removed from the article for more or less the same reaon.

I second that. User: nobody, 10th January 2007

I'd edit it myself but I don't know wether or not its an official tagline or not. XTarget 23:02, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Logo

I noticed that that the Visio logo is in PNG but it appears the transparent color is not quite correct; though I'm not too sure. And it also has a template attached that says it could be stored better in a SVG format. Shouldn't a low resolution PNG suffice, since most Fair Use Rationales cover "Low-resolution" logos, instead of lossless, scalable logos? Danny Sepley 19:54, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Visio 5.0

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Visio5.PNG I uploaded a pic of Visio 5.0... doesn't fit though. :( Colinstu 13:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
