[Sigia-l] visio feature improvements

[Kathleen Klein]

Hi Michael:
Thanks for bringing this thread back to firm turf. In Visio, I'd like to see
the Web site stencils incorporate some of the "org chart" features, such as
having clean connectors spring up simply by dropping a "child" on a "parent"
element. I also like the org chart wizard's ability to quickly generate a
starter diagram from a spreadsheet. I sometimes tweak a content audit
spreadsheet and use the wizard to generate a diagram representing Web site
file structure, and then heavily edit. If others have discovered a way to do
this in the Web site stencil, please let me know. Boxes and Arrows describes
a process that might do the trick:

ge=2 Has anyone had luck with this?

I'll echo a previous post asking for online samples of Visio diagrams to
show the advantages and disadvantages. Anyone have examples to share?
Thanks.  - Kathleen

If anyone has suggestions for things they might like to see visio do for
them that it does not
currently do, let me know. The more feedback I have, the more likely I'll
be able to help visio do the things you want it to do, as well.
