449 forum posts 72 photos	.Hi - Can anyone recommend a simple to use (foc) Flow chart software package. The sort of thing I am looking for is a means of selecting various shapes indicating Data Input, Decision making etc with connecting straight lines and the option to insert text within the selected shapes - all quite basic stuff. I think it may be something which is already available in the latest versions of MS Office but I am currently using MS 2007 which does not have it. I have looked at SmartDraw but I don't think it is available as a freebie. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Not tried it myself. Last time I drew a flowchart, it was all done by hand for a Computer Studies "O" level examwhen I was 35, 1982! John P.S. Got a grade A!
