Summary: Not what I had hoped for
Review: I appreciate the clear writing style of this book, but I've found several content problems that are very frustrating to a new Visio user. The author often says to click the icon on the toolbar, but he fails to say which toolbar, leaving the reader to display and remove toolbars until the correct icon appears. I've found shortcuts that don't work as described in the book. For instance, any shortcut that begins with CTRL+O opens the Open File dialog box instead of doing what the book says. In several places the author says to click on an option on the TOOLS menu when, in fact, the option is on the SHAPE menu. While it's better than no book at all, I don't recommend this book for new Visio users.

Summary: An excellent beginners book
Review: Very easy to understand for the average application user like myself. Chapter outlines are clear and concise for the beginner. I recommend this for the average user of office applications but has never used Visio 2002 - like myself.
