Informative

This is a good book. It goes into detail in several areas. My main concern when looking for a book was to exploit the relationship between Visio and other Office applications like Access and Excel. I was also interested in the Wizards that come with Visio. This book was helpful to me in those areas. Since the last half of this book covers these advanced features I would say that its content takes the reader from elementary topics to the more advanced features of Visio. The next step after reading this book is the developers edition from Microsoft. This book goes into detail that new users will be interested in as well. It explains the temples and shapes, how to edit them, how to set the properties for the page and other miscellaneous topics you need to get started. If you want to make a visual representation of some data that interacts with a spreadsheet or database, you can use this book for guidance and creative insite.

Visio 2000 Bible

The Visio 2000 Bible was well written, is evident that lots of research has gone into this project. I have used Mr. Walker'S books as resource materials in the past and the quality of this book rates with the others I have read.
