Love to see the visio formats zip and various new formats.  I now I’ve seen people purchase the .zip formats so it’s cool to see that.  I’ve also heard of people installing Visio on the server   So this should be a welcome download.  I forget where I saw this recently, but know it’s been something many search people have been on the watch for.
