Microsoft PowerPoint vs. Microsoft Visio

In this article, we will discuss Microsoft PowerPoint vs. Microsoft Visio as we know that both are Microsoft Office products. If you are a graphic designer then you have a design flowchart, organizational chart, infographics, charts, and many more things in the daily life of freelancing on Fiverr, PeoplePerHour, Upwork.

If you already know about Microsoft PowerPoint it is mostly used for presentation designing. You can design a presentation for your own purpose or business purpose and also you can make flowcharts, organizational charts, and many more things that you want to design for visual design.

As we know that flowcharts are easy to understand or very useful to following steps. If you are a freelancer then you have to work according to your client. If you will work on your own then the client demands the PowerPoint document because he knows well about PowerPoint and can edit PowerPoint files. That's why you have to work in Microsoft PowerPoint. 

Otherwise, he will reject your delivered file and demand a refund. That is why you have to avoid working in other software just what you have to do. When you will receive an order from your freelancing platform that we have already discussed.

After discussing the time frame and gathering all information you have to ask which type of file you want to deliver then he will tell you that I want PowerPoint, Visio, Lucidchart, Smart Draw, and draw.io.

Now, I will tell you how you can use PowerPoint for the design of your own flowchart. I will show you shapes along with the line or connector you have selected the shape then click and drag after it you have to double click on the shape then write down text on the shape. After completing your task you have to connect the shapes with the help of the line that it.

First of all, you have to open Microsoft PowerPoint with the help of the icon if available if not available then you have to search it from the start menu. As we can see that when we open PowerPoint then we can see there are few templates and blank presentations. 

We just start from the "Blank Presentation" then a new window will be open as we can see it.

We can see in the "Drawing" there are a lot of shapes what do you have to do now? You just have to select the shapes from the drawing then click and drag on your slide in PowerPoint and also you can see there are lines with the help of the lines you can connect the shapes.

1) Flowchart

Flowcharts are such diagrams that users can easily understand the flow of the diagram about the idea of the writer that is used to describe in the flowchart. Flowchart diagrams basically use many regular diagrams such as rectangle shape, circle shape, square shape, diamond shape these are such diagrams we probably use and we connect the shape with the help of a connector along with an arrowhead.

Oh! Great. Well-designed flowchart diagram. This is an example of flowchart well-designed flowchart diagram that is designed with the help of shape lines and text. 

2) Organization charts

Org charts are such diagrams that are used in an organization with the help of an org chart anyone can understand the structure of an organization and the relative ranks of its parts and position/jobs.

See the org chart of an organization in the organization chart you can easily understand the position and flow of the organization the org chart. 

3) Detailed network diagrams

Mapping out the network will all elements by using network diagram software (such as Visio). That fully describes the detail of the network. Let's go ahead with an example.

Attach is an example of network diagrams that fully describe the detail and elements in the network diagram. Also, it helps the user to fully understand the structure and flow in the diagram, and that works for the user easily.

4) Azure diagrams

10) UML class

UML stands for "Unified Modeling Language" we use UML diagrams for development purposes mostly in software engineering that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system.
