• Now I Know What An Official Guide Is Worth...
05 January, 2000
"You'll learn everything about Visio 2000" except what is really worth to learn! Don't expect much from this "official reference". If you are trying to find an absolute beginners book, not going too far in depth, it may be better than the online help (in some cases). I bought this book because I needed immediately a book about Visio2000 and it (unfortunately) was the only one. Know I just have ordered "Professional Development with Visio 2000" and I hope I will find there how to *really* take out from Visio2000 what there is to get. (I'll review it afterwards too.) I found this book not well written, much too superficial and with typos just where it was most important (Connection Tools for instance). The things explained are self-explaining for most of them. For example about grouping shapes: just how to group and ungroup. Nothing about all the options which are allowing one to have a correct control over the grouped object. And what if you want to merge two objects e. g. only having one, not a group? (It would be then centered not according to te group center but according to the biggest object in the former group...) Many little but very important options linked with stick and glue for example are just presented in 1 or 2 lines, leaving you the pleasure to try out dozen of times by yourself, if you want to understand the subtility. When I buy a book I expect a little more than: "to select the tool x, move the mouse over the button y and click once..." I guess you see what I mean... :)

• A Step Above "for Dummies", But Not Much...
14 September, 2000
I found this book to a lot of hype and not much delivery. In Chapter 6, the authors spend two whole pages on how to add graphics to Microsoft Word. This is one of the main reasons one would choose Visio. They list the options one may select, but never actually tell you how to accomplish the act!! The index in the back is also difficult to use, hard to find the topics one is looking for - or this may actually be a reflection of the book being incomplete. I have learned more about Visio on my own than by reading, using, or attempting to look up a reference in Hedtke & Knottingham's "Official" guide.
