Microsoft Visio 2016 Introduction

Welcome to Microsoft Visio 2016, Microsoft’s diagramming application. This new version of Visio now has a set of precrafted starter diagrams that allow you to quickly create diagrams in 15 of the most popular categories. Other new features include built-in Tell Me support, an expanded selection of shapes, quick import capability, and a more suite of collaboration features. This course is intended to help all novice computer users get up to speed quickly with Microsoft Visio. We will cover different features of the interface, show users how to find help, explore some simple scenarios, and cover the basics of how to create diagrams.

 

By the end of this course, users should be comfortable using Visio to create simple diagrams on a day-to-day basis and capable of creating organization charts, floor plans, cross-functional flowcharts, and network diagrams.
