Yes, Microsoft Visio and Project are compatible with Microsoft Office suites, but they are not included by default — they must be purchased and installed separately. These programs are designed to work alongside Office apps like Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
However, compatibility depends on two key factors:
Version/year: The programs should ideally be from the same release year.
Bit version (32-bit vs. 64-bit): Both Office and Visio/Project must match in bit version.
Examples:
✅ Compatible: Visio 2024 Professional Plus with Office 2024 Professional Plus — same version and bit architecture.
❌ Not compatible: Visio 2021 Professional Plus with Office 2024 Professional Plus — different versions may lead to conflicts and prevent simultaneous use.
Always verify both version and bit architecture before installation to avoid compatibility issues.
