Microsoft® Visio® stands out among similar applications because of its unique ability to draw a wide variety of diagrams, flowcharts, workflows, and organization structures—anything that can be represented by shapes connected by lines. Most importantly, these shapes can be rearranged and with corresponding lines remaining intact. Visio has improved over the years as features common among Microsoft® Office applications have been added. Today, Visio is well integrated with other members of the Office family as well as Microsoft's cloud-based services. This greatly enriches the sharing and publishing of Visio drawings.

When you are creating a drawing, your first priority should be clear and accurate content. Your second priority should be visual appeal. If your drawing isn't attractive, it probably won't be used by the target audience. You don't have to be a graphic artist to produce a visually compelling piece. Microsoft® Visio® contains many tools that enable you to look like a pro even if you aren't.
