More Visio Data Connections

Several additional data integration options exist for Visio diagrams, in addition to those discussed in this chapter. For example, you can generate a Brainstorming diagram from XML data or export data from a Brainstorming diagram to Word, Excel, or an XML file.

Other common data integration options include creating a Gantt chart from project management data or a calendar from Microsoft Office Outlook data. Both of these are available from the Data menu under Insert Data Solutions.
