I’m in total agreement about Visio for flowcharting. It is a nice non-artist’s draw program which has its uses, but flowcharting shouldn’t be one of them. Back in the early nineties I evaluated half a dozen flowcharting programs. To my amazement, the only one that had intelligence was AllClear. The DOS version of that time would be primitive by today’s standards. I haven’t used it in years, but I think it is still out there and has been updated.

I never could understand why people would settle for a glorified draw program.

PS MS Word’s outlining has got to be the one area that darn program hasn’t changed since version 1.0. Wake up, MicroSoft!!
