After you open a template, the two most common ways to add symbols to your diagram are by dragging a symbol from a library or by drawing an object with the drawing tools. It really is that simple. And you don't need to position the symbols precisely right away — you can refine your diagram as you go.
To drag a shape from a library:
|
1. |
To show the symbols on a library, click the library title bar. |
|
2. |
Drag a symbol from a library onto the drawing. |
|
1. |
Click any of the drawing tools, such as the
Rectangle tool |
To delete a symbol from your diagram:
|
1. |
Click the symbol, and then press the DELETE key. |
Sometimes you can't find all the symbols you want on the libraries that the template opens. For example, when you open the Basic Flowchart template, it opens four libraries: Backgrounds, Borders and Titles, Arrow and Connectors, and Basic Flowchart Symbols. You'll find most of the symbols you need for a flowchart on these libraries, but you may want to add computer symbols to your flowchart. If so, you can just open a few libraries until you find the symbol you want.
To open other libraries:
|
1. |
On the File menu, point to Open, and then click Library.... |
