FlowBreeze lets you make flow charts easily in a simple,
intuitive, and accessible flowcharting environment. FlowBreeze achieves this by automating
the flowchart making process in a 100% Microsoft Office integrated environment.
Create Flowcharts Just By Typing Text
FlowBreeze is an Excel add-in that saves you time. Instead of dragging and dropping, typing text, and adding arrows, you click the cell where you
want a flowchart symbol to be. Then just enter the text for the process step and hit the ENTER
key. FlowBreeze generates a symbol containing the text, formats the symbol, and adds an arrow
from the last shape..
How's Does FlowBreeze work?
It converts text into flowchart symbols
based on a set of customizable rules. Common rules in FlowBreeze are:
- Question marks ("?") generate Decision symbols (diamonds).
- Creates Terminator symbols when you start and stop flowcharting.
- Creates Connector symbols (small, labeled circles) for short All Caps entries.
- Provides dozens of preset formatting styles.
- Lets you assign Keywords to different flowchart symbols.
- Lets you assign Prefixes to different flowchart symbols.
- Adds branch labels (e.g. Yes/No) to your Decisions.
- and much more ...
If you are converting existing instructions into a flowchart, the Text To Flowchart Wizard
can save you loads of time. It will take a list of steps written out on the spreadsheet,
load them into a form where you can set the symbol types, styles and arrow routings, then
generate the flowchart for you automatically.
