5.0 out of 5 stars A Valuable Upgrade, February 3, 2004

By	Craig L. Howe "The Pointed Pundit" (Darien, CT United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

I have been using the Visio diagramming software since the 2000 version. In my mind this upgrade is the best I have purchased.

The interface with the rest of the Office XP 2003 Suite is vastly improved. I can now take a diagram created in Visio and drop it into Word documents, PowerPoint Presentations and e-mails without having to reformat it. In the past the transfer was never clean.

Once the diagram is embedded, I can emphasize and clarify key points, gather input from team members and even share documents using SharePoint services. This is a huge timesaver for me.

If you embed your diagrams in other documents, you will love this upgrade.

1.0 out of 5 stars Upgrade Inequity, October 24, 2005

By	R. Blythe (Frankfort, KY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Disappointed to find out that you cannot upgrade Visio 2003 standard edition with this product. You have to have an "older"
version of Visio 2000 or 2002. Why Microsoft doesn't allow this
upgrade is makes no sense but at $200 for the standard version and $250 for the professional uograde and now another $429 for the full professional version, I guess it does make cents after
all

4.0 out of 5 stars Microsoft Visio Professional 2003 Upgrade, August 3, 2005

By	ChEng "Reviewer" (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews

I found this upgrade to install easily and well perform as expected. Help function is good but lack of hard copy manual or availabilty of one is a disappointment.
