VS2003FT - Microsoft Visio 2003: Fast Track
This course is a combination of our VS2003-1 - Microsoft Visio 2003: Level 1 and VS2003-2 - Microsoft Visio 2003: Level 2 courses, in a convenient two day format.
Day 1: You'll learn fundamental skills while creating several types of diagrams using Microsoft® Office Visio® Professional. You will create a directional map, a block diagram, a basic and a cross-functional flowchart, an organization chart, and an office layout. As you create these drawings, you will learn techniques to drag and manipulate Visio master shapes, create connections between shapes, and apply styles to shapes, text, and pages. You will generate an organization chart from imported data and edit custom properties to store additional information in your diagrams. You will learn shortcuts to enhance your productivity and use unique tools designed for each type of drawing. When you've completed the course, you will have a firm grasp of all of the skills needed to create any kind of diagram using Visio.
Day 2: You will expand on the knowledge you gained in the Visio 2003 Professional: Level 1 course. You will work with many advanced features, including using the drawing tools, creating and working with custom stencils and templates, and sharing your Visio drawings with other applications.
