Mac readers for Visio and MS Project
in [Mac Systems]

From: Carl Price on 31 Jan 2006 22:00 Has anyone seen a translators or know of reader apps that would allow you to view Visio or MS Project files? One of the downsides of being one of the few Macs in an almost all PC based company is not being able to view these kinds of files unless I call back and ask them to send me a PDF version. I've done many Google searches and haven't found anything of use. -- Take out the "REMOVE" in the return address to reply

I have not tried it but have a demo of the regular version on my new PowerBook that opened when I saw my Visio diagrams on the network had something other a generic icon. Regular version does not open Visio diagrams, but suggests purchasing the Pro version. http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnigraffle/

However, the missing stuff might not be important to the OP. m. -- matt neuburg, phd = matt(a)tidbits.com, http://www.tidbits.com/matt/ Tiger - http://www.takecontrolbooks.com/tiger-customizing.html AppleScript - http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0596005571 Read TidBITS!
