Sorry Lori, the overlapping colours tend to give a washed out effect. For
Venn diagrams the colour contrast is a lot stronger. For example, a yellow
circle overlapping a blue circle will have a green overlapping area. For the
current version of Visio, the overlap colour is dependant on which circle is
in front. (It's number 34 on the wish list.)

For now the fragmenting solution gives the best results.
