College basketball fans — keep up with the 2008 NCAA tournament action with Microsoft Office Visio templates! They have become a perennial favorite so we've updated them for the 2008 season. Just download the 2008 NCAA men's bracket or 2008 NCAA women's bracket template from Microsoft Office Online. (Visio 2003 or later is required.)

Make your team stand out  If your team or alma mater gets invited to the playoffs, you can use the coloring features in Visio to make it stand out. For information about coloring shapes, see Apply a professional look to your drawings with themes and Color shapes according to their data.

Track more than one division  If you also want to track Division II or Division III games, make a copy of the template before you customize it so that you won't have to download the template file more than once.

Track your teams in Microsoft Office Excel  Visio is your best choice for visually displaying the teams in their NCAA brackets, but the Visio templates don't do math. If you're more interested in using Excel to track your teams as they advance, download the the Excel 2008 NCAA men's bracket w/tracker or Excel 2008 NCAA women's bracket w/tracker template from Microsoft Office Online. For more information about using the Excel templates, see Track NCAA basketball championships with Excel templates.

Invite your friends  Last but not least, if you're planning a March Madness party, you can download the Basketball party invitation flyer or the College basketball party invitation.
