How to make a Flowchart in Word
It’s undeniable that creating a flowchart in Lucidchart and then inserting it into your Microsoft Office applications using the Add-Ins is the most efficient way to incorporate flowcharts into your Word documents. However, it’s still possible to make a flowchart in Word directly and this helpful guide will show you how.
1. Open a blank document in Word
2. Add shapes
To begin adding shapes to your flowchart in Word, you have two options. Begin by going to the Insert tab within the Ribbon and choose SmartArt or Shapes. SmartArt graphics are pre-made collections of shapes within a gallery. The Shapes tool provides a basic selection of shaped objects that can be inserted and edited onto the document.
Adding symbols via SmartArt in Word
A gallery box will pop up when you select SmartArt from the Insert tab. We recommend clicking Process for flowchart-specific options from the left panel in the dialog box, but keep in mind that you are by no means limited to this option and are free to use whatever SmartArt graphic is best for your specific needs. You will then click the SmartArt selection you want to use and a preview of that flowchart graphic will appear in the right panel, along with an explanation of its logic. Click OK to insert the selected graphic into your document.

To replace your graphic with SmartArt at any time, select it and press Delete. You can then click the SmartArt Graphics (Insert > SmartArt) and choose a different chart type. If you prefer to change the layout of a SmartArt graphic, select the shape(s) and select a new style from the Design tab within the Ribbon menu. Rest assured that you can edit the SmartArt chart layout at any time without losing any text.
From the Design tab, you can then continue to add flowchart shapes and connect them with lines until your flowchart is ready. If you find yourself lacking in shape options, you will need to manually add a shape from within the Design tab. To do this, select the shape (or entire chart in some cases) nearest to where you want to add a new shape. Then select Add a Shape.
Add text to a SmartArt graphic by clicking the filler text and begin typing. Depending on how much text you add, the shape and font will automatically resize to fit.
To draw lines between shapes, click Insert > Shapes and select a line style. Then click and drag on the page to add a line.
As one can see, it’s certainly possible to make a flowchart in Word, but you may not be able to create more complex diagrams or process flows and share or collaborate efficiently due to the limitations of the program. However, with Lucidchart as your canvas, the possibilities are nearly endless due to the vast shape library, easy to use interface, and cloud backup with real-time collaboration features. If you want to add a flowchart into Word, Lucidchart is the modern solution.
