Diagrams and charts play a pivotal role in knowledge dissemination, making complex data
easy to understand. Microsoft® Visio® 2010 has a host of features that are instrumental in cre-
ating pictorial representations of information. In this course, you will learn the essentials of
Visio.
Since time immemorial, visuals have always held a universal appeal. Graphical representation
of any sort of information makes it captivating. However, creating these visuals can be tedious
and demanding at times. Visio is a software application that makes creation of diagrams a
cakewalk.
