Version 2002 vs 2003

[Vicky]

Hello,
I was wondering if there were any significant differences between the
versions. I have 2003 and will be teaching a class on using Visio 2002. Are
there any areas where I can get totally tripped up if I have never looked at
2002? In addition, I will only be teaching at the introductory level
including: Basic skills, drawing a map, creating a diagram, flowchart, org
chart and floor plan.

Any suggestions you may have would be greatly appreciated.

I'd start here

and then point out the edition differences (with the caveat that database
and software modeling are in the EA version)

If you are teaching the basics, there should be no problem. Al has given you
pointers as to where to find information about the difference between 2002
and 2003 and the difference between standard, pro and Enterprise
Architecture. You may want to provide this information as a handout to your
class.

Thank you both for your responses.
