1. Create Custom ScreenTips for Shapes in Office visio 2007
Shape ScreenTips in Microsoft Office Visio are the boxed text that appears when you point to a shape. Some Visio shapes have built-in ScreenTips—usually the name of the shape (such as the name of a workflow step). However, you can edit existing ScreenTip text or create new ScreenTip text for shapes that don’t have a built-in ScreenTip.

To create or edit a ScreenTip:
1. Select the shape.
2. On the Insert menu, click either Shape ScreenTip or Edit Shape ScreenTip, as applicable.
3. In the Shape ScreenTip dialog box, type or edit the ScreenTip text.
4. Click OK.

2. Let Your Audience Drill Down to Excel Data
1. Select the Microsoft Office Excel table that you want to import to your Microsoft Office Visio diagram. On the Ribbon, under Export, click Create Diagram.
2. In the Add Total area of the PivotDiagram panel, select the number of columns that you want to include in your Visio diagram.
3. Select the diagram in your Visio presentation for which you want to create a drill-down facility, and then select the category for your drill-down levels.
4. Add shapes to the categories.
a. Select your diagram, and then click the Apply Shape button in the PivotDiagram panel.
b. Select the shape you require, and then click OK.
5. Filter the data by clicking Configure Column on the Category menu, and then clicking the arrow next to the category name.

3. Creating Organizational Charts
1. Start Microsoft Office Visio.
2. From the Business template section, click Organization Chart.
3. Click Import Organization Data from the Organization Chart menu.
4. Select your data sources. Click Information that's already stored in a file or database, and then click A Microsoft Exchange Server directory.
5. From the list of available fields on the left, select the information that you want to appear on your chart, and then click Add.
6. Click Next. Anything you add on the next page will be added as shape data (that is, not displayed in the diagram, but forming the properties of each of the shapes that do appear).
7. Choose your organization layout. To have Visio automatically display your organization as pages, select the I want the wizard to automatically break my organization chart across pages check box.
8. Select Browse in the drop-down list.
9. From the address book, select the person you want to appear at the top of your organization chart, and then click Finish.
