The Microsoft Office Visio tools are grouped on toolbars based on the type of task you perform with them.
To see the purpose of a tool or button, pause the pointer over it on the toolbar. A tip appears that describes the tool. If no tip appears, turn on the display of ScreenTips on the Options tab of the Customize dialog box.
