  • Lesson 1: Introduction to Microsoft Visio 2016

    Microsoft Visio 2016 is a program used to create diagrams and drawings of all types and for all purposes.

  • Lesson 2: Navigating Microsoft Visio 2016

    Because navigation is indeed so critical, we’re going to devote this entire lesson to teaching you to navigate through Visio 2016.

  • Lesson 3: Working with Shapes

    In this lesson, we’re going to use a blank template to show you some basic skills you will need to work with shapes in Visio 2016.

  • Lesson 5: Working with Text

    Visio 2016 offers you all the formatting tools that you’re already familiar with from other Office programs, plus it makes inserting text onto shapes or directly on to the page a snap.

  • Lesson 6: Moving Beyond Basic Drawings

    While it’s true that Visio 2016 gives you all the tools you need to create all types of drawings, then customize the look and feel of each, the true benefit if Visio lies in the data tools that it provides.

  • Lesson 7: Continuing to Work with Shape Data

    While data linking to external sources was complicated and confusing with prior versions of Visio, Visio 2016 makes it a lot easier.

  • Lesson 8: Inserting Images and Other Files into Visio 2016

    Images you insert into Visio do not appear as regular images as they do with Microsoft Word. Instead, they are shapes.
