November 20, 2015 By Visio Guy 2 Comments

shiny-lumia-950s-thumbIf you like Microsoft’s ecosystem of devices and software, then you’ve been waiting for a new Nokia Lumia handset for a looong time. Well the wait is just about over, and the only questions remaining are: 1. Are they too expensive? and 2. Which one is the right size for me?

Visio Handles through the Ages

September 16, 2014 By Visio Guy 6 Comments

visio-handles-through-agesMicrosoft 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.

But Microsoft has also made changes to Visio’s shape-manipulation handles, thereby  rendering millions of painstakingly-created screenshots on websites the world over instantly obsolete, and confusing users everywhere.

As a reference point for users using older and newer versions of Visio, and just out of plain curiosity, I’m rehashing the look of Visio shape handles for Visio 2000, 2003, 2007, 2010 and 2013. Have fun!

Creating Custom Bullets in Visio

September 15, 2014 By Visio Guy 2 Comments

custom-bullets.thumbA customer/fan asked me the other day how to create custom bullets in Visio using a character he’d carefully selected from the Wingdings font. He had dug his way deep into the text editing dialog, and had actually found the right place for customizing bullets, but he couldn’t quite get it to work.

It turns out he was making it just a bit more complicated than it needed to be. When I looked into it, I found that the process was indeed a bit unclear. So let’s walk through creating custom bullets in Visio, and clear up any muddiness that you might encounter along the way.

Data Refresh on Open

May 13, 2009 By Visio Guy 11 Comments

data-refresh-on-openVisio users are excited about the data features in Visio 2007.

But as they dig deeper, more and more of them are asking this question:

Can Visio provide an automated way to refresh the attached data every time the diagram is opened, so I don’t have to remember to refresh the data myself?

I want to see the very latest version of the data every time I open the diagram.
