Following on from my last article about playing checkers with Visio in Teams, I decided that I should also revisit my earlier Visio chessboard to make it work in Visio online.

I was trying to think of a suitable demonstration of the co-working and collaboration possibilities, and came up with a reworking of an…
Visio is NOT Vizio!
Update 1 : Microsoft read this post and immediately corrected the spelling so the following now works : https://adoption.microsoft.com/virtual-hub/search/?_sft_vh_product=microsoft-visio 🙂 Update 2 : Mr VisGuy! “spelt” is the same as “spelled” outside USA!
