Re: Guide to Visio for FrameMaker users?

["Gene Kim-Eng" <techwr -at- genek -dot- com>]

I've been using Visio on and off since the early 90's, and if I needed to 
produce line art that didn't fit the prepacked templates, I'd find a way to bail 
to another drawing app and then just use Visio to convert the output to a Visio 
file.  Especially if it was a one-time project and I'd never use any new Visio 
skills I developed again.
