Visio 2003 worse than Visio 2000
This is SOOO disapointing. Will anyone (that matters) ever read my message?
Me thinks not. Anyway, I am a "super power Visio user". I have used Visio daily since it was in first Beta in 1993? I am a technology architect and I need a great tool for diagramming. Visio 2000 was that tool until the other day when I upgraded. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THE IDIOTS WHO CHOPPED UP AND DISCARDED THE VERY BEST FEATURES OF THE TOOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MORONS!!!!! So, after over 10 years of Ctrl-B to send items to the back of the stack: Ctrl-B is now Bold text. After 10 years of Ctrl-F for "bring to front", Ctrl-F is now "Find". When I copy an object from on page and paste to another, all these 10 years the object would be pasted EXACTLY PRECISELY at the same relative coordinates as from it's source.....but not now. Nope. Now when I paste an object it goes to the middle of the screen. So...when designing Multi Generational architecture drawings where one page leads to the next showing progressions of features being added/removed from the drawing (much like an animator's cell), there's no precise alignment any longer. This, and dozens of other "homogination" efforts have left Visio no better than PowerPoint for doing precision drawings. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PUT A VISIO-2000 compatibility mode in NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!! OR I WILL NEVER USE IT AGAIN! |

As Terry says, this is not the place to address comments to Microsoft (you
can do that through http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp), but it is also not the place to reach the knowledgeable Visio users who might be able to help you with your problems (perhaps even tell you that the change in behavior you deplore can be changed). For Visio problems/questions, try posting in a Visio newsgroup; this one is for Word. -- Suzanne S.
