Template Features

This template was put together using the Visio Basic Diagram solution.

 In addition to the custom report, layers have been used in this template to provide a memorization tool. The layers allow you to show or hide groups of elements. Each element shape has already been assigned to a layer based on its classification.  

Using Custom Properties

 The element shapes have Custom Properties that can store the following information:

·          Name

·          Symbol

·          Atomic Number

·          Classification

·          Uses

To add or change data in the custom property fields, follow these steps:

 1.     Make sure the custom property window is open. On the View menu choose Custom Property window.

2.     Click on one of the element shapes and type data into the custom property fields.

3.     Select another element shape and continue the process
