This was harder than expected, because I had to enter specific dates for each quarter (ie: 2009.04.01 – 2009.07.01) instead of just selecting a quarter from a list.Īlso, I couldn’t find an easy way to hide the dates for the quarter. I also used braces on the bottom of the timeline to show quarters for the years 20. You can see that I used Visio 2007’s Themes feature to nicely format the page, and that both specific dates and time intervals are shown. The markers attach automatically to the timeline bar, and react to date-changes both for the bar and for the markers.įor the Microsoft Office 2010 launch plans, I ended up with this simple timeline:
This template offers a variety of timeline bar shapes, and a set of markers and interval bars to highlight specific dates and date intervals. So I whipped out Visio’s simple timeline template, which can be found under: File > New > Schedule > Timeline. Since I spend so much time customizing Visio shapes and writing code to automate the drawing creation and analysis, I thought it might be fun to do some end-user stuff. To put a Visio Guy slant on the press release, I’ve created a Visio timeline that illustrates the dates in Microsoft’s announcements. I guess this post should have been titled Office 2010 Timeline, since Microsoft’s recent announcements confirm that the “14th” version of the popular office suite will follow the year-model naming convention.
