If you’ve Visio for any amount of time, you might have noticed that the selection handles that you use to manipulate shapes take on various forms.
With the coming of Visio 2010, the universe of shape handles gets more complex, because the Microsoft team has changed the look. This will cause confusion as veterans talk to newbies, and people refer to older blog posts for in-depth info about using Microsoft Visio.

Did you know that Visio allows you to select shapes inside of groups and manipulate them without ungrouping or opening new windows?
