• To link the shapes
  on your flow chart
  there is a
  multitude of
  options. Here I
  am going to use
  an arrow. To
  efficiently create
  the flow chart, it
  is best to get the
  basic design first
  before worrying
  about the graphic
  effects. You can
  always add the
  effects later.
• I choose a quick format for the first shapes, drawn the
  arrow, and am ready to set up more sections. I just copy
  and paste the first box and drag it to the appropriate
  position.
• After getting accustomed to selecting shapes and
  adjusting their positions it’s probably a good idea to start
  adding text. To add text to the chart simply Right Click
  on a box and select Add Text from the menu and begin
  typing away.
• The mini formatting toolbar is still available with any text
  you enter into the chart which comes in handy if you are
  use to it. If you are not a fan and want to stop it, you can
  make the mini formatting toolbar stop popping up.
• Once you have the
  basic outline of the
  flowchart complete,
  it’s time to add
  some “pizzazz” to
  everything. This is
  done using the
  Format tab on the
  Ribbon. Here are a
  few shots of what
  you can do. This is
  the different colors
  you can make the
  shapes.
• Here are Shadow and 3D effects. The cool thing with
  Office 2007 is you can just hover the mouse over the
  different effects and get a preview of how it will look in
  the document. This saves a lot of time rather than relying
  on a trial and error approach.
•       Another feature is inserting Smart Art. This allows you to insert nice pre-designed graphic
        layouts. You do not need to be graphic design expert to insert professional looking content.




    •     A handy window opens up where you can insert text into the chart which in this case is Radial
          Cycle. You will see the text as it would appear in the smart art at the same time it’s entered.
• A good way to help the graphics in your chart stand out better is to
  change the background color of the document. This is done from
  Page Layout and Page Background sections on the Ribbon.




                                   • This is a
                                     simple
                                     flowcha
                                     rt made
                                     with the
                                     steps
                                     and
                                     different
                                     options
                                     shown
                                     above.
