How to Do Everything With Microsoft Visio 2002 (How to Do Everything Series)

Summary: Good Layout Doesn't Make Up For Poor Content
Review: I purchased this book when I bought Visio and regret it. In a hurry, I glanced through the table of contents and it looked complete. I also skimmed through the pages, and the layout looked clear and well done. All of this was on quick inspection. Once I started reading the book, I couldn't believe I got snookered into buying it from these things. This author can't write her way out of a wet paper bag, and I seriously doubt that she can even use Visio. I took the book back. Don't make my mistake.

Summary: Not much of Everything
Review: This book contains massive typographical errors. Many of the illustrations don't match the text. A lot of the operational instructions do not match the menu and tool options in the actual software.
I purchased the book to learn how to create a new shape. Chapter 9 has a paragraph entitled "Creating an Entirely New Shape" but only tells you how to modify an existing shape. At no time does it explain how to create a new shape from scratch.
