An instructions PDF ships with this symbol set. Those instructions outline why and how to use the symbol
set. They also include possible issues you may have with the symbol set.

Other symbol sets work well in conjunction with this set. The Office 2013 Visio Stencil at http://
www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35772 contains over 300 useful symbols and icons
including representations for Microsoft Windows Server related products. In cases where the sets conflict,
use the symbol in this Windows Azure set.
Short summary
 Open a new blank Visio diagram. Opening a diagram of a specific type such as flowchart may change
and recolor the icons when you drag them onto the page.
 Drag and drop the symbols on your Visio diagram. You can drag and drop them into PowerPoint as well.
They are vector-based and should not degrade if you make them larger in either product.
 Change text to label the symbols as needed. Press F2 after highlighting a symbol to edit the text below the
symbol.
 You can color the symbols using the Fill option in Visio.
We suggest you set up Visio to use the Zoom options with the mouse wheel. It makes moving around
diagrams MUCH faster. Turn it on using the options below. Select any object on the diagram, use the mouse
wheel, and you ll see.
Though not a set standard, these symbols try to use color to draw a distinction between different product
sets. Consider using these same colors for consistency. This will help you separate when the same or
similar features are run in different places. For example, virtual machines can be generic, run in Windows
Azure, on Windows Azure Pack or on Windows Server.
