Excel users can similarly use an available, blank range of cells in their worksheet. If you are using Word, just substitute the blank slide area with a blank area on your document.
#NEOOFFICE FLOWCHART MAC#
MacFlow under Mac OS9 used to do this, and it was wonderful: double-click a box and a new page would open, where you could flowchart the "nested" process. The one feature I'd really like that none of these programs seems to have is the ability to expand or collapse a process block to reveal the flowchart of what's in the box. I'd like to see symmetrical resizing (hold down option like in Graffle) so I don't have to re-center every time I resize a box, but that's a niggle. Gliffy is completely intuitive - everything pretty much does what I expect it to, and there are nice keyboard shortcuts for most things. I have to manually redraw lines almost anytime I move anything. Graffle is great except for one crucial, deal-killing problem - it's orthogonal connecting line algorithm is terrible. I'm a long-time user of Graffle and have tried a number of the other suggestions on this page.

Price is under 50$ as you mentioned and the whole package is worth it. Further more there are many templates and examples to be used to create instant diagrams. Perfection is the word for the diagrams you design from creately. It has specific features for each diagram type. Its a fully fledged diagram designing application made for diagramming mainly focused on the design and use. You can edit change / add different styles and improve your diagrams with creately as you want. And you can customize to use the ones you want to use frequently as well.Ĭreately has what you call (smart connectors) that can automatically connect shapes by identifying the position of the shape and the connector type it requires.

Yes, Creately supports 1000's shapes since there are more than 50 diagrams types made available to use. There is a mac version available and you can try for freeĬreately has an improved interface and I can assure you that it is very user friendly powerful and simple.
#NEOOFFICE FLOWCHART SOFTWARE#
But if you are drawing flowcharts frequently I suggest you to get an flowchart software like Creately. I would recommend a web based solution since you are not always using it. I see you that you need to draw flowchart with basic shapes and grids. I recently found out that the drawing portion of Google Docs actually does a pretty good job with the types of diagrams I need to create, but the UI is pretty poor and it obviously requires a constant net connection. I wouldn't actually use it for flowcharts, but rather basic similar diagrams to show data flow between apps, information flow in a company or other places, that kind of thing. (I have Illustrator, I love Illustrator, but it's crap for basic flowcharts and other simple diagrams.)
