can I use animation in visio without buying any add-ons?

[Manoj]

I am a licensed user of MS-Office products. I intend to animate some of my
visio documents. i want to know if this is possible without any purchase of
any add-ons or will I have o purchase some additional stencils or something
like that.

Gotta write code to do this. Visio wan't designed for animation, but you
can get some basic stuff to work.

Visio comes with a VBA interface, so you can work out some visual basic code
right in the Visio file.

Many years ago, when I was at Visio, we had a Put-put Golf Tournament. At
one of the holes, a guy had a PC running an animation of how the hole should
work. Of course, it was a Visio file. You can download that file here:
