Advanced Flowchart Techniques: Using Flowchart and Connector Shapes Together

Connectors are lines that link different flowchart shapes (or any shapes you place within your Microsoft Office documents).

Move any “connected” shape, and the connectors move and reorient with the shapes automatically.

Basics Flowchart Techniques: Basic Flowcharts in Microsoft Office

Many dedicated programs do only flowcharts, and although Microsoft creates another program called Visio for Windows users that’s more flowchart savvy than mainstream Microsoft Office programs, there’s no version of Visio available for Mac users. And it really doesn’t matter too much if all you need to do is create a basic flowchart because you can create flowcharts within your other Office programs such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint! Why do we put forth such a recommendation? That’s because these Microsoft Office programs already have all the abilities and options you need to create almost any type of flowchart you need.What’s more, you don’t have to buy and learn yet another program to do something that really is so simple!
