The new AutoConnect feature in Microsoft Visio 2007 enables easy connecting of shapes in a drawing. Simply place a shape on the work grid (drawing page), then place a second image next to it. When you put your cursor over the shape you want to connect, you will see faint blue arrows pointing outward from the shape.
Microsoft Visio 2007 (Standard) enhances users’ abilities to create visuals of various systems (objects and interrelationships) and processes. This latest Visio version offers a more visual interface.

Recent Visio documents appear as thumbnail previews in the right column and link to the actual files on the computer (unless they’ve been moved).
