Default Venn diagrams in Visio?

"Geert Vancompernolle" wrote in message ...
There's indeed a trick:

- Draw your ovals (Venn diagram symbols), the way they overlap like you want
them.
- Select both (or more) ovals
- Select Shape - Operations - Fragment

Result: you will have (in case of 2 ovals) 3 separate areas, that you can
for instance separately fill with a different color.

Hi Geert,

Hey, I had never heard of "Fragment" before. I tried it out and it
does just what I wanted. (I tried positioning an elipse over the
intersection, but that's a hack.) -- I'll make sure I fragment after
I've got everything else set up, so I don't have to worry about moving
around.

Thanks much for your help.
