use of visio shapes in journal publication

[shrii]

Hi visio users and researchers,

Do you need to get a copyright permission from Microsoft for the shapes in a diagram (drawn using visio) that will appear in a journal?

Thanks in advance for the answer.

No, the only restriction is if you include the shapes in a format like a Visio drawing. For publication, you will be using an image of the shapes rather than the shapes themselves.
