Amazon.com Review
You can't beat Visio 2000 for general-purpose graphics work. The program rules the roost when it's time to create flow charts, technical diagrams, and any of many other kinds of pictures that can significantly increase the clarity of reports and presentations. Visio 2000 Visual Insight shows the Visio novice how to use the program productively and reveals how to create good-looking examples of the most popular kinds of business and technical graphics.
The basic idea of the Visual Insight format is that it's better to show the reader how to do something than to try to explain the process in words. So, readers get a series of one- and two-page spreads, each containing the steps to follow to achieve a particular effect. In most cases, the text of each step appears next to an image of the step being carried out--a particular dialog box or a partially completed drawing. The reader is never unsure of what he or she should be seeing. One problem is that some of the numbered steps aren't really steps at all but rather statements of things that should happen as a result of earlier steps. But don't let that stop you. It's easy to locate common tasks and quickly figure out how to accomplish them, with a minimum of time spent decoding prose. --David Wall
Topics covered: The basics of Visio 2000, followed by its specific features for line, shape, text, and stencil manipulation. Concluding chapters are case studies, which guide the reader through the creation of a floor plan, an org chart, and a timeline.

Pretty Good Introduction for absolute beginners,
By
This review is from: VISIO 2000 Visual Insight (Paperback)
This is a pretty good book for beginning users who have no experience with other graphics programs or little familiarity with Windows & Office either. It is well written and easy to read with plenty of screen shots and step-by-step instruction for a beginning level user. Covers a lot of basic functionality that most Windows or Office users should be familiar with already. Most of the information covered is obvious if you just sit down and play with the program for a few days, but there were one or two little tidbits that were nice to read. The format is very easy to follow and will help get you up and running with the program quickly
