I haven't used the Axure tool I mentioned earlier on a formal project
yet, but this is one of the reasons I am so impressed by it. It allows
you to create "master objects" (but they're called by some other odd
name I never remember) that you can define once and re-use at will,
which is something Visio has sorely been lacking. This one simple
feature would save *hours* in turnaround time. (FYI, the tool does
also allow you to create master pages.)

Sometimes the HTML the tool puts out can be a little wiggy (e.g.,
dropdown boxes defaulting to the *last* option) and requires manual
fixing, but it's remarkably clean. Extremely far away from the nasty
HTML something like Word will output.

Take care,
Fred.
