I have a back log of articles I’ve written that mostly just need screen shots and some final polishing up. So once again, I’m blogging about new Excel flowcharting articles I’ve posted.

The first article is How to Make Flow Charts in Excel. It provides a good overview of the basics to creating flow charts in Excel - even if you’re a FlowBreeze user. It also has a a few good tips on editing flow charts, including the easiest way to insert and delete flow chart symbols. The following is a listing of all the article sections:

1. Enable the Drawing Toolbar
2. Create a Flow Chart Grid
3. Enable Snap to Grid
4. Set the Page Properties
5. Create Flow Chart Structures - e.g. Swim Lanes and Title Block
6. Add a Flow Chart Symbol
7. Add Text to a Symbol
8. Add a Connector (Flow Line) Between Two Symbols
9. Add a Callout
10. Move a Flow Chart Symbol
11. Resize a Flow Chart Symbol
12. Align and Distribute Flow Chart Symbols
13. Delete Flow Chart Symbols
14. Insert Flow Chart Symbols
15. Change a Flow Chart Symbol Type
16. Format Flow Chart Symbols

The second article is How To Add Text to Excel Flow Chart Connectors (Flow Lines). It’s a simple and straightforward piece on how to …
