PDF might work, and I believe that you can export Visio to some other vector formats, such as SVG (and then convert from SVG to a more InDesign-friendly format - can't remember if InDesign can currently incorporate SVG files), but I was never able to get intact layers out of Visio without having to split files. Depending on your strategy, you might have to think of the InDesign elements as overlays on the Visio material, (such as callouts, arrows, etc.) however that might not be what you are after here. The other strategy might be to take your Visio file, export a layer at a time (as I did), and then open/ place these in InDesign (or other software).

In all cases, this is a one-way trip; I'm pretty sure that you can't get anything into Visio once it's exported.

I feel your pain. I hated when I was forced to use Visio even though I could done far better looking work faster with Omnigraffle.
