Visio Viewer for iPad (and iPhone)
Now that we all have tablets and huge-screened smart phones strewn all over our homes and offices, looking at Visio diagrams while on-the-go or on-the-sofa is no longer a weird thing to want to do.
Turning Pages in Visio
For small documents, turning pages in Visio is pretty straightforward. But when your file grows to be 30 or 60 pages long (yes, people do this in Visio!), some other techniques will make your Visio-document-navigation life a bit simpler.

Visio Handles through the Ages
Microsoft changes the look of Visio’s user interface from time to time. Most of the uproar came for Visio 2010 with the introduction of the dreaded Ribbon.
