Customer Reviews

Good if you learned how to switch your PC on just Yesterday

For my personal use I would rate this book as 2. However I have to acknowledge that it is a high quality production with lots of nice pictures to assist people who don't know how to save a file of change the color of their text. If you've ever used MS office products such as Word or Powerpoint about 50% of the information in this book will be redundant.Can anyone recommend a book which explains how Visio 2002 uses the MS Repository? This book didn't even mention the Repository.

Good primer on Visio 2002

"Step by Step" offers a good primer on Visio 2002 for the beginning user. A particular strength was the insight into how this most recent version of the product integrates with XP.

Great Lessons! Plan your time with care.

This book does a great job outlining the objectives to be covered with each lesson. The lessons are well thought out, easy to follow and cover a variety of practical techniques. I also appreciated the book binding which allows the book to remain open and flat while typing and learning! The trial version lasts 30 days, starting from date of activation (which is required to get full functionality of the trial version of the product). While 30 days may seem like a fairly generous timeframe, time can easily slip away and before you know it, there are just a few days left before the trial version ends. I would strongly recommend one of the following: 1) Get a full version of Visio 2002 and just install the practice files so there is no time contraint or 2) Use the trial version, but read through the lessons first, before installing and using the trial. Either way, you will have more time to do the lessons you want, and will have time to review and re-do those of most interest. Definitely well worth it to get a manual like this with practice files.

Easy to Read

This book is excellent for beginner who never use Visio before. It is to the point and it has clear and nice colorfull example.The instruction is very easy to understand. The acompanied cdrom is very helpfull to do the exercise. The opening in each chapter is rather hard to understand though, but once you do the exercise, you will understand it. This book does not cover any advanced features except the last chapter, which is customizing shapes and templates, but it give you a good feeling of becoming familiar with Visio. Once you finish reading this book, you will be more comfortable to read more advanced Visio books.

Moving to 2002 Step by Step.

I started working with Visio with version 5; I was able to create basic layouts of networks but wanted more. I then upgraded to Visio 2000 and started reading books on what the features could do. With the installation of Visio 2002 and this book I now know there is so much I can do. From the creation of the diagram and the adding of shapes you'll learn at your pace and you can re-do any section over again you until you understand the concepts. The authors' layout the book in a format that makes the learning fun and easy. You'll also learn about connecting the shapes together, project scheduling, setting up the organizational charts, creating an office layout or network diagram. The book even shows how to integrate the application with Office XP and customizing the templates. An excellent tool for the beginner but every level should be able to find something in here. The book comes with practice files and for my money this was well worth the price.
