Re: Visio in the Workplace 

I appreciate the link, but Office Help (online or with the stand-alone) hasn't proven to be very helpful for me.  The search continues!

Thanks again for taking the time to help me.

Re: Visio in the Workplace 

One thing I noticed is that if you would like to combine both flowcharts and UML diagrams in one file, it’s tricky.

Anyway, to be able to see and use the Vision UML functionality, make sure that when you start a new file you choose the Software/UML Model Diagram stencil. (At least this is how it is named in Visio 2003).  Please note that the features I am describing will not be available if select another stencil when starting a new file.
Then you drag and drop the shapes on the page as usual. However when you double-click a UML shape or right-click and select Properties, you’ll see something like the properties in Describe.
There is a UML menu item on the top you may look at.

You may publish the whole file online as HTML and there is a handy zoom feature. Also the pages are named after the tabs in the file.

I hope its not too late and this helps.

Looks something like this:

Recipe Redesign: There Is No Box, Only Possibilities

I have always loved cooking. I learned from my Grandma June and her kitchen was her sanctuary, a small, warm sunlit space filled with jars of spices, stacks of cookbooks, and the comforting smell of something always on the stove or baking in the oven. Grandma June was as great a cook as she was a teacher to me. She never followed a recipe “to...

BPO Explained: A Smart Guide for Today’s Leaders

Now, I know, I don’t know what kind of new intro BPO may require, but at least I can promise you upfront that I have something different to say about Business Process Outsourcing or simply BPO. What is it? This hasn't been a call center job or a sales job as we all think. It is a mammoth profile, and firms are grappling to ge...
