Hi Vanice,
There's no easy way to make windows into shapes, or make irregular masks in
Visio. If you place images on a page, you can crop and pan them, which is
similar to what you want, but probably doesn't solve your problem.
You can do some interesting things with the boolean operations - under the
Shape > Operations menu. With Fragment, you can cut shapes up, and with
Union and Combine, you can put bits back together.
I think that in Visio, true cut-away views have to be done the hard way -
actually cutting bits of shapes away. This means you have to be an
illustrator, which is what Visio customers generally don't want to be : )
