Integrating data with Office Visio 2007 diagrams has always been one of the most powerful and useful features in Office Visio 2007. Microsoft Office Visio 2007 takes data connectivity even further by making it much easier and faster to connect a data source to any diagram—such as a flowchart, organization chart, network diagram, or facilities management diagram—created with any version of Office Visio 2007. Automatically connect diagrams to data sources, such as worksheets in Microsoft Office Excel 2007 and databases in Microsoft Office Access 2007 by using the new Data Selector wizard. You can even link diagrams to more than one data source. For example, you might have a worksheet that you want link to the employee shapes in a diagram, and a database table you want to link to the equipment shapes in the same diagram so that you can demonstrate the ratio of employees to equipment.

The possible incorporation of the Visio program in an upcoming version of the Office suite will be an easy combination for the developers. Visio 2000 ... supported and incorporated Microsoft Visual Basic Applications.

With Microsoft Office Visio 2007, you can rapidly highlight key issues, trends, and exceptions, and depict the progress of a project, turning Visio diagrams into powerful tracking tools. The new Data Graphics task pane makes conditional formatting easy with good-looking, intuitive shapes such as flags, data bars, warning icons, and signals that can be displayed based on user-defined conditions. For example, you can show variable data as progress bars, represent data that increases or decreases with arrows, and view rankings as stars. You do not need to format any of this yourself; you need only specify the data conditions under which the tracking shapes appear. Office Visio 2007 does the formatting for you. The result is a unique, professional-looking diagram that communicates a wealth of up-to-date information and makes the data much easier to understand and track.

The following Visio Stencils were created in and specifically for use with Microsoft Office Visio Professional 2003. If you try to load them in an older version of Visio you will get the message "This file cannot be opened because it was created with a newer or unrecognized version of Visio" and you will not be able to use the stencil.
