Placing Shapes
The first step in developing a Basic Flowchart is deciding which Master Shapes to include and then placing them on the diagram. Each shape serves a specific purpose and demonstrates a particular aspect of the drawing.
1.) If necessary, display the Drawing Grid (on the View menu, click the Grid command).
2.) Click the stencil bar containing the desired Master Shape.
3.) Click and drag the shape onto the page, and then release the mouse.
4.) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each general shape type, as needed.
To duplicate shapes easily: Press and hold the Ctrl key, then click and drag the desired shape to the new location.
