How to Create a Flowchart in Microsoft Visio

Whether it’s a diagram for a class report or a flowchart for a business proposal, Microsoft
Visio offers its user-friendly features to help you visualize your ideas better. Presuming you
have this software installed in your PC, you can start creating a flowchart with these steps:
● Step 1: Microsoft Visio Home Page

Once you open Microsoft Visio, you will be directed to its home page where you can
see different templates for various types of flowcharts or diagrams. There is also a
blank option if you prefer to design your own but for beginners choosing a
pre-designed template would be best. Let’s say you’re making a Cross-Functional
Flowchart, click that option and select between the suggested styles available then
click “Create.”

● Step 2: Flowchart Details

For this particular flowchart template design, there are designated areas like the title
and functions. Double-click on each area to edit or insert the data based on the topic
you’re making. You can add as many functions as necessary.

● Step 3: Flowchart Design

The best part of choosing a pre-designed template is it gives you access to shapes
and tools you can use to customize how your flowchart would look like. Otherwise,
you would have to search for shapes and arrows which would take time for a
beginner, however, it’s not relatively difficult since Microsoft Visio is user-friendly. On
the other hand, choose the desired shape on the left panel and drag it toward the
row of the appropriate function.
● Step 4: Flowchart Layout

Drag another shape from the left panel to a particular lane or row and then an arrow
to connect it to the previous shape. Next, insert the information needed by
double-clicking a shape then type them in. Repeat these processes until you’ve
mapped out your whole flowchart.
