- In this video we'll show you how to create a flowchart in Microsoft Word.
Let’s say you want to document the process that happens after a user has provided the username and password to login a website.
First, we will define the process and later on change the shapes to make it look like a flow chart.
Let’s move to the Insert tab, and click on the Smart Art button. For showing a decision tree, we can move to the Hierarchy category and select the organizational chart option from here.
In the text box, let’s remove the default text first. Now let’s start defining the process.
The first shape will represent the start of the process, so let’s simply type in Start over here.
Once we hit enter, the next shape will appear. To connect it with the first process, let’s hit the “tab” key on the keyboard.
Now this shape will be a decision with two outcomes, whether the username and password entered was correct or not?
After we have entered the decision, let’s move to the next line, hit the tab key and write Yes and No in two different lines.
Now each outcome has an action, so for example let’s go back to Yes, hit the enter key, then the “tab” key and let’s write the outcome we want, which is that the user will be logged in the system.
Similarly, we will add an action for the other outcome as-well.
Last of all, we will end the process after both outcomes.
Now let’s make it look like a flow chart.
For that, we will select each shape in the smart art and change it. So let’s select the start and end processes, move to format and click on the “Change Shapes” dropdown menu.
The oval shape, or the terminator symbol, is used to represent the start or end of a process. So let’s select that.
Next, for the decision we will use the diamond shape, which will have two outcomes.
The rectangle shape represents the process. Since the remaining shapes are processes, we will keep them as-is.
Lastly, lets select all the line shapes and change them to arrows. Within the format tab, let’s open up the shape outline drop down menu, move to Arrows and click on this option here.
This is a basic flowchart and you can use all the formatting features available in word, whether for text or shapes.
And that’s all.

Just one word man, Awesomeeee! You literally saved my life! I really Appreciate it.

hello! Thank you for the video. One question-- using hierarchy, how do I get multiple boxes to converge onto one box lower in the hierarchy? Thanks!
why does your voice seems familiar?
cool
Very good tutorial, but I would really like to know where you get the box from on the left-hand side for the smart art please
what's the tab key for MacBook Air? I'm pressing on the one immediately to the left of the Q on US-English layouts but it does not work
Hello , could you advise how to redirect the “Error” back to the previous step in the chart eg “Is the user name correct “ part ? Thanks
After 10 video ,i found what i want
My module brought me here :)
Okaay... using an organisation chart to create a flowchart. Whilst it does let you create one fairly quickly and simply, it doesn't really create a process map that follows conventional rules. I think I'll stick with flowchart shapes and connectors. But for Joe/Jane Technodumb, it's a pretty good solution.
I don't have answer key on my laptop what to do in that case.
Flowchart with cycles though?
How to merge two end in one at last?
Can i have only one end box at last and not two?
What is the version of ur ms office???
Unable to get the result after putting tab key
At 00:40, I could not figure out how he added the extra box to the left. So, I slowed down the video and discovered it was a "Text Pane." To pull up the Text Pane, just simply enter "text pane" in the search box at the top of Microsoft Word, then click on the words "Text pane," and the pane will pop up for you to modify the information just like the narrator does in the video. Maybe this will help someone like me who is unfamiliar with the text pane.
Just found out an EASIER way. After you add the flowchart to your document, there is a small arrow on the left side of the outlined area. If you click that small arrow, the text pane will pop up!
How to add return lines to a flow chart (return to previous step if action needs to be redone or amended.
I said that you should upload more so you can get more view
2:34 How to select all the arrows? Help!!!
How should I document in this situation
" If the passsword is wrong, I should repeat the steps from the beginning".
How should I insert the arrows that indicate to go through the process again ? Please Suggest
I thought it would look like the one in the thumbnail that's why I clicked
unfortunately i can only do simple trees, i can not do a complex tree that is neat and organized. the smart art will not allow multple branches to be created because it throws the connection lines everywhere and wont allow adjusting to make it neat and orderly so if i try making multiple branches i can not understand the flow. that and most of the smart art will not allow branches at all, only straight processes. hopefully they fix this because the powerpoint that i remember long ago did allow reorganizing of the connection lines to create any type of tree freely.
I don't understand how you move to the other shape
I'm too late for this video, already submitted a report with a f*ked up flow chart. 😓
What happens when the flow chart gets too big to fit on one page?
I would assume word is not what you need. Visio would be the program for that.
Sir hardware flowchart
Sir please
in spent 2 hours making flowchart in ms paint when u can do it in 5 minutes using this technique
not good, you are just doing the mechanical one, if you click enter or do something different it will be difficult to get back to the links between boxes
