Re: need to create flow diagram "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 21.07.2006 15:16:49 Start by inserting a drawing canvas (Insert | Picture | New Drawing). Then display the Drawing toolbar. Insert text boxes or AutoShapes from the Drawing toolbar (there's a whole category of Flowchart AutoShapes, but you'll need to right-click and choose Add Text to put text in them). Connectors are also on the AutoShapes menu. -- Suzanne S.

Especially handy if you're repeatedly going to be using tools from the same palettes over a period of time. When done, just click the 'x' in it's upper right corner to send it back to where it came from. -- HTH |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "sw" <sw[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:93A934D3-DD7D-421C-8DF7-51D5FBFF73A7[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: need to create flow diagram "Suzanne S. Barnhill" <sbarnhill[ at ]mvps.org> 21.07.2006 16:38:51 Thanks for that, Bob.

Re: need to create flow diagram "CyberTaz" <typegeneraltaz1ATcomcastdotnet> 21.07.2006 18:17:17 Yeah - Tear-off menus are one of the few truly functional "bells 'n' whistles" added to Word over the years yet [ironically?] one that is consistently glossed over in - or omitted from - the advertising hype. -- Regards |:>) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Suzanne S.
