How to Make a Flowchart in Microsoft Office
1. Open Microsoft Word from the 'Microsoft Office' folder under 'All Programs' in the Start menu. Select a new document in Microsoft Word.
2. Click on 'Shapes' under the Insert tab to see a list of available shapes. The flowchart category has several shapes useful for creating flowcharts.
3. Select a shape you like, and then click on the document to add the shape in that position. You can move the shape by clicking on it and then dragging across the document while holding down the mouse button. Edit your shape using the options available in the menu at the top, and add a text box if you want to label the shape.
4. Repeat step 3 to create a full flowchart suited to your needs. You can use the shapes available under 'Lines' in the Shapes menu to create lines to connect your flowchart. Experiment to find a flowchart that fits your style.
