Genuinely so helpful. You've saved me a fortune on expensive programmes selling me what Word can already do!

[@sansaneechanthasukh960]

Beginning with "new drawing canvas" is the technique I am looking for. It helps me easily move the whole table to other MS Word files. You saved my life !!! Thank youuuu

[@jimgilbertswheelsanddeals]

How do you just create a paragraph of text without using a shape or text box? Any advice would be great. Thanks

[@stevenwurtz7225]

Such good advice! Thank you

[@kaybee5876]

[@nitinkoparde0470]

[@Destinyj7]

worked like a charm! Thanks for your help!

[@asif_mojtoba]

*Such a beautiful presentation. Loved the video. Thanks a lot.*

[@dafyddcousins9596]

Very helpful for my PLC assignment, thank you!

[@contefrederic]

I liked your presentation. Very clear. Unfortunately, when doing the flow diagrams manually, the line connections are inconsistent when you try floating the boxes. The connections do not always hold. I do not see any way to invoke them or to pin them to a connector spot on a box. Did I miss something?

[@jaydock1]

I noticed this too

[@lucylin8989]

It is very helpful. thank you very much

[@ferozmerchant8751]

Thank you for a great tutorial

[@unaluv88]

Thanks for sharing! :)

[@engineering8642]

Connection dots DO NOT appear when mouse is over shape

[@duckduckgoose6769]

How do l fit the txt in the box automatically when doing the manual way? Like it happens in the smart art

[@ellaineera8017]

What if the shape that i wanted is not in ms word? This is why i like handrawing than computer

[@MrVastaman]

GOD BLESS YOU BRO!!! MY WISHES TO YOU! YOU SAVED ME

[@rsdee3132]

[@jpliew]

Hey mate, I like you video, but this video is NOT about flowchart, the link you provided for the full guide IS flowchart.

[@soroush6788]

Thank You.

[@Shawnmyrelle]

Great video!!!!!

[@unclefuncledan]

thank you so much

[@MAL-hk2jg]

great instructive video - but how do I add words into the shapes?

[@tabsnyder2012]

Adding the questionaire in to the shapes?

[@bobbylow175]

Right click on the shape and select add text.

[@dawntan6732]

Does shape matter?

[@CreatelyApp]

MS Word is a very versatile product, but it's definitely not built for creating flowcharts. If you want to create a quick flowchart try our flowchart maker ( creately.com/diagram-type/flowchart ). You can even export it and add to your MS Word document.
Check out this video which explains the capabilities of the tool in detail. ruclips.net/video/ppUHtCCxPfc/видео.html

[@tahiraparveen2949]

How can you add pictures underneath the text box?

[@jamirulislam31]

Hello sir! I have tried to make an flow chart of chemical process where reactor, separator etc are there. I need to write reactant names, mass flow rates on the top or side of arrows. But I am unable to do that. Can you help me, sir?

[@MathTutorVideos]

Textboxes.

[@jjpineda4418]

Hi, if you find it hard to use MS Word on how to create a flow chart, you may try to use GitMind as an alternative for faster and easier way. I have been using it for years now and it is really helpful. Get to know it by visiting its official website. gitmind.com/

[@lpanades]

[@MakeUseOf]

You rock!

[@dodoshade9363]

thank you

[@dirtybomb32]

I think you should have much better audio quality for the 224K subscribers you have.
The audio quality of this is that of a rinky-dink project.

[@MakeUseOf]

That's a fair point, noted. Check out our latest videos - we no longer accept tutorial submissions from our regular site authors, which this was.

[@aliensplayingtennis7245]

this is not a flow chart

[@nickjonesrc]

My word does not have "smart art" how do I find it?

[@maunmau]

Far from stunning :/

[@TheJingss]

stunning = basic

[@gflucas13]
