You can use dynamic text frames instead of boxes. These have the advantage of
automatic line breaks. Figure 203 shows the sequence of text input into a frame,
adding borders, and setting the background color. The Line and Filling toolbar may
not be visible until you have set a line type for the frame. Set the line type using
Format > Line or right-clicking the text frame and selecting Line.
Drawing a flow diagram
For drawing flow diagrams (also known as flowcharts), Draw offers a separate
toolbar (Figure 204); click the flowchart icon on the main Drawing toolbar.
The easiest way to draw a flowchart is to follow the same setup procedure as for
organization charts. Select the symbols from the toolbar and drag them into position
as described in Chapter 2 (Drawing Basic Shapes). See Figure 205 for an example of
a typical flowchart.
The individual symbols must be exactly positioned if the connectors joining them are
to form a vertical line. The midpoints of all the symbols that lie in a vertical straight
line should have the same X coordinate and those on the same level on a horizontal
line should have the same Y coordinate.
