I am on my way home after presenting and demoing Visio and SharePoint BPM portals at Kistamassan near Stockholm. I was staying at the Scandic Victoria Tower right next door. Very handy, and very tall. It is a striking building, as can be seen in my photos below, however, speaking as an ex-architect, I was disappointed to find the modern interior spoilt by large, but inadequate, curtains that took several minutes to draw over the large number of triangular windows in my room. I really think it would have been worth installing electric auto-tinting glass.

Visio Pro for Office365 Partner Templates
It is becoming clear that Microsoft are making Visio Pro for Office365 (VPfO) their priority. Its update cadence is much quicker than the non-cloud versions of Visio, and there are some features that may not make it to them. A case in point is partner templates and sample diagrams. It appears that Categories has been renamed as Templates in VPfO and there is a new tab named Sample Diagrams. The Partner Templates are at the bottom of the Templates tab, and there is a Partner Sample Diagrams section too on the Sample Diagrams tab.
I am pleased to note that five of my templates made it into the Education category. Each of these templates are from earlier blog posts here!
- A multi-faceted playing card – A Visio Deck of Cards
- Countdown game – A Visio Countdown to Xmas
- Semaphore – Visio Rocks for Flag Semaphore … or another use of Lists …
- Morse Code – MS TechNet UK blog : A history of messaging and encryption
- Scrabble Tiles – Get Scrabbled with Visio
