1a.: Workflow policies/abilities

We've recently migrated to SP2010, although much of the site is set up to appear in the 2007 skin.
We are getting requests from users to be able to create Workflows. We never did this much in previous iterations chiefly due to a lack of training and understand of how to accomplish this.
I understand in 2010 you can actually design workflows in Visio. But it appears that they still need to be imported/exported via SP Designer.
The last thing we feel we want to do at this juncture is open up the enterprise to untrained users with Designer. I was wondering how this role is handled in other institutions? This is for our intranet, but we will be facing a similar situation for our publishing site eventually.

You can rough in the overall flow of a workflow in Visio. But that's just a
tool for using with business users to discuss the overall flow. The actions
and conditions added in Visio have no details behind them and aren't an
actual workflow. Once the general flow of the workflow is designed then you
have to import that into SPD and fill in the rest of the details. Visio is
another tool its not a replacement for SPD when building workflows.

Sorry Palani I've been in the weeds with this migration/upgrade. I believe most of this was handled by setting the site collection to always open items in the client application. With new sites being created (in full 2010) we are experiencing some variance on how they edit excel and other resources on the site. I do not have any screenshots that are on public webs so I am unable to share them at this time. Thanks for your response.
