Determining Visio version

[Jennifer]

I'm pretty sure I am running Visio 2010, but how can I verify that for sure? if I click on the Help icon (question mark in blue circle), it says, "This page is unavailable".

Hi,

File -> Help

[Jennifer]

Thanks.

At the top, it says Visio 2010. In the middle it says Version 14.0.7173.5000 (32 bit). Does that mean Version 14 of Version 2010?

I attached a screen capture, but I don't know how to embed it in the post.

Update: Aha! I see that it is embedded below. I wonder why that didn't show when I clicked on Preview?

No, Visio 2010 is the name of version 14.
Visio 2013 is version 15, I guess.
The version can be used in code like this:

Code Select Expand


Private Sub Document_DocumentOpened(ByVal doc As IVDocument)
    'No Ribbon support before Visio 2010
    If Application.Version >= 14 Then
        UI.ribbonStart
    End If
End Sub

There are no Visio versions 7, 8, or 9, because after Microsoft acquired and branded Visio as a Microsoft Office product, the Visio version numbers followed the Office version numbers. Version 13 was skipped.

Visio does not have a Mac OS X version which has led to the growth of several third party applications which can open and edit Visio files on Mac.

On 7 May 2001, Microsoft introduced Visio Enterprise Network Tools (VENT), an add-on for Visio 2002 scheduled for release on 1 July 2001, and Visio Network Center, a subscription-based web service for IT professionals who use Microsoft Visio for computer network diagramming. VENT was discontinued on 1 July 2002 because of very low customer demand.

No, Visio 2010 is the name of version 14.

That makes sense    M$FT logic has always escaped me.

Thanks.
