Visio 2007 Pro & Standard

[Doug.A]

I am looking at upgrading to Visio 2007, and am trying to decide between Pro,
Standard, or a Mix.

I am wondering if features specific to Profesional used in Profesional while
building a new drawing would still be useable in Standard? Such items as data
linking, etc.

Thanks.

Visio 2007 Standard does not have the Data Link or Data Graphics features.
However, drawings created in Visio 2007 Professional with these features
should be compatible with Visio 2007 Standard- meaning the data imported via
Data Link will be in the shape's Shape Data cells, and Data Graphics will be
visible and editable as shapes (but without the Data Graphics editing
interface).
