Flow Charting in Word 2008

ckelloggjr · Oct 19, 2009, 04:22 PM

I am new to Mac. I was told that Windows Word documents were compatible with Word for Mac. The problem is that I have created flow charts within Word documents. Word for Mac renders them static images; no longer editable. In addition, Word for Mac does not seem to have the capability of drawing bent lines and snapping from origin box to destination box as does Word for Windows. Am I overlooking something, or doing something wrong? Thanks,

I don't know much about Word, but if you're just looking for a flowcharting app, OmniGraffle is quite handy.
