Learn Visio 2010 from Visio MVPs (Video series)

[dasadler]

In my quest to learn more about Visio I found something I wanted to share with the Lounge. There is a series of videos (not quite tutorials) produced by MS Visio MVPs. There are currently 18 of them and there will be 24. Most of them have downloadable files that are used in the video.

Although I have Visio 2007, I found the videos very, very helpful.

Chris, David and Scott do an excellent job in presenting some of the features of Visio 2010. Even if you do not have Visio 2010, some of the topics do apply to the earlier versions.
