I installed the Visio 2007 viewer on my Vista machine, but I cannot find
where it is in order to launch it. I see it in the programs to uninstall
list, but that is the only place I see it.
The viewer becomes an addon for IE, so you can't launch it as a
stand-alone application.
I still find it difficult to see why a proper Visio viewer is not
possible.
A conditional compilation flag to remove most of the menus:
all you would need would be
File -> Open, Print, MRUlist and Exit
View -> Zoom and maybe the Rulers, Grids etc
the usual Window (except shapesheet) and help menus
disable all VBA and addons
disable all toolbars
disable all mouse and key events on the drawing canvas
never show the stencils
disable most of the DoCmds
disable most events
disable all activeX
even if there is still 0.01% of some functionality still available
that I haven't thought of then it's not really going to be useable.
My 2p.
