As much fun as it is to make flowcharts, eventually you'll want to stop and get on with your life. Two things happen when you stop the flowcharting session. First, you will be prompted to add a stop Terminator symbol. Second, FlowBreeze will no longer generate symbols from your entries, meaning you can go back to using the worksheet for normal Excel activities.

How To Stop Flowcharting

Before you stop flowcharting, it's a good idea to select the cell where you want to place the stop Terminator. FlowBreeze will use this as the default location to place the Terminator symbol. In our example, you will place it beneath the Op A symbol.

To end the interactive flowcharting session, click the Stop button on the toolbar. FlowBreeze will display the Add End Terminator? window, shown below. In this window you can change the text (with the option to make the new text the default for the next time you flowchart), and you can change the cell where the Terminator should be added by clicking the Select Cell button.

When you click Yes, the Terminator is added and the flowcharting session is completed.

Although the flowchart above is plain black and white, the Standard edition allows you to set the formatting for each symbol in the settings windows prior to making the flowchart. So the flowchart above could as easily be created as the formatted flowchart below.
