Creating a diagram is easy with Visio.

Microsoft Visio 2010 provides abundant design tools to create diagrams, charts, templates and other drawings. Visio, like Microsoft Word, is set up to create printed documents. Unlike Web pages or application screens, printed documents have a specific border. When someone creates a design in Visio, a white space border is shown around outer layer of the page. While the border cannot be eliminated completely, it can be hidden from view.
