In Visio the easiest way to zoom in and out is to use a wheel mouse. Press Control then move the wheel to zoom in and out.
Press shift to pan left and right. Visio's layers are a joke. Instead it's better to use multiple layers of backgrounds. Backgrounds can use different backgrounds and, with a little patience, can be used as layers. You can't turn these on and off when needed though. I have never used any of the shapes in Visio (well maybe a mouse pointer once or twice). Instead I have a library built up from others libraries and my own items - once mastered Visio's masters are quite powerful (if not entirely free of bugs). There is much wrong with Visio - no merging documents, not paste in place, lots of annoying bugs and needless features. Having used both Omnigraffle and Visio in anger I feel both have major short comings but, under pressure, I find Visio twice as quick to use. The perfect user experience tool has yet to be built. -- Stewart Dean ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
