Ever since Microsoft bought the Visio product it has gone through several transmutations. In my research, I found the version nomenclature a bit confusing--perhaps it was my mental capacity--but I seem to remember that the distinction between professional and other versions was not clearcut from year to year. The latest version powerfully helps computer network administrators. When I was looking for a version that would help me with layout of a bakery's floor, electrical and plumbing plans I settled for an older version of Visio Technical bought from Ebay. I saved money by going this route. But clearly I was limiting my compatibility options by using an older version.
There are some compatibility issues which the MS comparison chart may not immediately clear up. I am talking about reading and writing Visio files from and to other Visio versions. Also, I recall that older Visio versions may have problems on WinXP. I would poke around with Google in addition to the excellent MS version chart mentioned by Floyd. Hope this helps. -Ken --- Floyd <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Here is a link to Microsoft's comparison chart > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/visio/prodinfo/editions.mspx#EBAA > > There is also a trial version to check out as well > > http://www.microsoft.com/office/visio/prodinfo/trial.mspx > > Floyd > > > Earl Edwards wrote: > > > I haven't purchased a VISIO package yet and have a > question. > > > > I see there are several flavors of > it...Professional, Standard, > > Technical.
