I need to make some flow charts. I know there has to be a program out there that does this. Am I just too blind to see it?

OpenOffice can draw charts I do believe.

We used some freeware in my networking class that did flow charts. We used it to set up a network diagram though. I'll see if I can dig it up.

Dia is a useful program that'll do that. It's kinda weird though...takes a little getting used to.

Not free, but works great.

ROFL. It's funny because it would work. Might not be user friendly, but if you can't find anything else...

You can make pretty good ones with photoshop as long as you sketch it up on paper before putting it on screen.

I think the logo is pretty easily edited out in the free version but there's a 30 day premium trial and a key is only 5 bucks.

It amazes me that M$ office does not come with one.

I seem to remember being able to do flow charts in word. That was a while ago though and I now use Visio.

Gotta love TechNet!

I just checked Office 2007 and all the shapes are there for flow charting.

hmmm I guess I overlooked them. I do not really jump deep into words features that much though.
