Hello...!

I hope this thread is in the right place - if not appologies...!

I have made the switch from PC to Mac and got myself an iMac G5. Whilst most things I have figured out, I need to view Microsoft Visio Documents!

Does anyone know if there is a Visio viewer application for OS X? I have searched Microsoft and Apple and Gooogled it - still having no such luck!

Anyone out there that can help?

Cheers

Steve

I'd have thought that 3rd Party Products would be the right forum...

Anyway.. the (maybe) helpful part of my reply: Omnigraffle Pro can work with Visio XML files (save option for Visio 2002 or newer). Not really a dedicated visio viewer and it costs (but not _that_ much).

As a bonus - as well as getting access to Visio diagrams, you'll be able to easily produce diagrams that are the envy of all visio users..!

p.s. One for the grammar pedants there

You can try out OmniGraffle for free first, in order to see if it fits your needs.

Concept Draw has a built-in Visio converter. But it's a big app like Visio and costs more than OG. And when I tried it out I found some bugs; bad PowerPoint compatibility, buggy PNG export and a few other stupid things.

If you just need to view it -- Cut and paste the visio drawing to a Word DOc in the MS world and export the word doc or your Mac

That's about as useful as making a screenshot.

You can get omnigraffle pro. This will allow you to import and export visio docs.

Recently, I needed to open Visio files too. I tried Omnigraffle and it worked like a charm...
