Microsoft Visio 2010 Viewer Download

Microsoft Office Visio makes it easy for IT and business professionals to visualize, explore, and communicate complex information. Microsoft Visio 2010 Viewer allows anyone to view Visio drawings and diagrams (created with Visio 5.0 through Visio 2010) inside their Microsoft Internet Explorer ( versions 5 through 8 ) Web browser. Visio Viewer is particularly useful for teams that need to collaborate from different locations.

By using Microsoft Visio 2010 Viewer, Visio users can freely distribute Visio drawings and diagrams to team members, partners, customers, or others, even if the recipients do not have Visio installed on their computers. Microsoft Visio 2010 Viewer can be used for viewing Visio drawing (files with a .vsd, .vss, .vst, .vdx, .vsx, or .vtx extension). According to Microsoft, the new Visio Viewer enables users to discover the advantages of using Visio drawings, charts, and illustrations in a Web-based environment.

To view any Visio drawings, you just needs to double-click on the drawing file in Windows Explorer and Visio viewer will render the drawing in the Internet Explorer browser window. You can then pan and zoom in the drawing window by using toolbar buttons, keyboard shortcuts, or menu items in the shortcut menu. Also, you can see properties on any shape by opening the Properties and Settings dialog box and then selecting a shape. Some rendering and display settings are available in the Display Settings tab of the Properties and Settings dialog box.
