I’m after something I can use quickly and easily today if possible, while I navigate the 3 month IT request based process to get visio installed…..

Any suggestions for something decent?

MS Word actually does decent basic flow diagrams and simple to customize. Insert > Objects or something? Sorry I don’t have it in front of me.

Oooh – yes Insert>shapes>flowchart.

Its a word doc I’m writing so this could be all I need!

Thanks.

There is Gliffy, which is an online replacement for MS Visio. I have a paid account but pretty sure you can just sign up for free. Never used Visio since.

Have a look at http://pencil.evolus.vn/ it might fit the bill and it is free.

Gliffy – good suggestion thanks that seems to have the auto arrows that word doesn’t.

Powerpoint is great for that. Insert > shapes.

how in depth do you want? star uml is free, but not very user friendly

Just happen to have downloaded one today in fact!

Called Dia. Open source one. Seems to work great.

Yed is free, multi-platform, and quite handy…
