Steps to create a Flowchart
1. Open a blank document in Word
Adding symbols via Shapes in Word
From the Insert tab within the Ribbon, select a flowchart shape from the
dropdown gallery. You can then click and drag it to the size you want on
the page to place it. Continue to add shapes and lines to complete your
flowchart.

3. Add text
Add text to a SmartArt graphic by clicking the filler text and begin typing.
Depending on how much text you add, the shape and font will
automatically resize to fit.

For a Shape, add text by double-clicking the object and begin typing. To
customize the font, use the toolbox that pops up when a desired shape is
selected.
4. Add lines
To draw lines between shapes, click Insert > Shapes and select a line
style. Then click and drag on the page to add a line.

5. Format shapes and lines


To really make this flowchart stand out in Word, you’ll want to do some
final formatting. You won’t have as many options as you would in
Lucidchart, but there’s still some significant room for customization when
making a flowchart in Word.

For some of the simplest editing options, a menu will appear with basic
editing options when you right-click on an object.

To edit text layout, click the Layout Options icon that appears when you
right-click a text box and pick your preferred layout. You can also view the
rest of the option when you click See More.

Move a shape or lines anywhere on the Word document by simply clicking


and dragging. If you’re trying to resize the image, just click and drag from
a corner or edge and use the handle icon to rotate the shape.
