Now if only it would stop dropping leading zeros unless you ask it, and we got rid of the MM/DD/yyyy date format entirely.

Apparently our typical installer for Visio 2016 and our 365 license use "incompatible installers" so it is going to be a pain in the ass for me to have both installed at the same time. Thankfully I'm trusted by IT so I might be able to just do it myself.

Edit: Looks like I'll need IT after all. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/use-the-office-deployment-tool-to-install-volume-licensed-editions-of-visio-2016
