Key Features and Improvements in Microsoft Visio 2016 Standard

Visio 2016’s Standard edition is the baseline variant of the three that are available. As such, it provides an excellent package of features and opportunities, without touching on extremely advanced tools that serve very specific purposes. The main goal of Visio 2016 Standard is to offer a remarkable application for your PC, free of any over-complications or frills - and it is equipped accordingly. Check out the most significant features and improvements:

• Do more with shapes. Undoubtedly, the choice in shapes is one of the deciding factors when it comes to diagramming software. They are the means of transforming walls of text into simple, accurate and contextual summaries that get your point across perfectly. In Visio 2016 Standard, you definitely aren’t going to scramble for options. Text can now be entered directly inside the shapes in your document, and replacement is done instantly instead of involving deletion of components. Furthermore, improvements to the canvas and the overall functionality of elements make it possible to have more completely new multi-page and multi-layer diagrams that contain all the required information.
• Unlimited variety in arrangement. Of course, in order to communicate relationships and dependencies effectively, your shapes need to be organized in a certain order - otherwise, they are simply pretty graphics with little substance. Visio 2016 standard passes this step of the process with flying colors. You can now “junction jog” - this newly available feature allows you to create separate components, or “bumps”, when it crosses another line. Furthermore, you can add as many connector points as you like, even after finishing the diagram or flowchart. As far as last-minute touch-ups go, worry not: elements can be resized either manually or automatically to better fit the text.
• Substance and style. Speaking of colors, you have a virtually limitless supply of them with Visio 2016 Standard - and not only that. The ClipArt gallery now offers an enormous selection of symbols, shapes and decorative objects that can assume not just the colors you desire, but also fills and styles. If you are having a hard time coming up with your own design from scratch, Visio is here to help with hundreds of readily available templates. They are suitable for a wide array of office and home purposes, and you won’t find any duplicates: each and every template has a separate theme and different colors.
• Connect and protect. Excel is often used as a source of data for your Visio documents. Microsoft acknowledges and improves on that with the diagramming app’s latest version, implementing one-step connectivity to the signature spreadsheet software. In addition, your Visio files are now completely secure with IRM (information rights management) protection.
• Real-time collaboration. With Visio 2016 Standard you can enjoy working on your diagram, flowchart or presentation with your team, in real-time and with live editing. This type of work is in many cases a group effort, and with the new Visio you can engage in it without resorting to third-party software or time-consuming processes - everything is done within the app, and stays there.

These are just some of the most important features that make Microsoft Visio 2016 Standard such an appealing option. We won’t spoil it for you, but rest assured there are plenty more pleasant surprises in this excellent diagramming software.
