Title: Determining Visio version
Post by: Jennifer on December 10, 2016, 07:57:12 PM
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".

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:

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  :P  M$FT logic has always escaped me.

Thanks.
