Do not add columns to your spreadsheet. Do not delete the graphic icons in row 9, or add or delete any rows above row
9. It is acceptable to add rows below row 9.
As you develop your Process Flow Diagram, you should place graphical icons in the appropriate column for each process step. Typically, there will only be one
icon per process step (one icon per row). Generally, you will probably find it easier to place all your icons BEFORE you start drawing lines, but this is not required.
Note that once you've placed icons and lines, Excel WILL keep them connected properly when you add and adjust rows within the body of your flow diagram.
To Delete an Icon: To delete an icon, first delete all connecting lines attached to it. Then use the mouse to click in the center of the icon you wish to delete. You
should see little "selector squares" appear around the icon. When you see these squares, press and release the DELETE key on your keyboard.
To Change the Color of a Graphical Icon: use the mouse to right-click on the icon, then left-click on the "Format AutoShape" entry in the pop-up menu. Click
in the "Color" dropdown box near the top of the dialog box, select an appropriate color, then click on "OK". Remember that color is a useful tool for helping with
understanding, but MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO COLOR PRINTERS, so use it sparingly and make sure that the document is understandable
when printed in black and white. Note also that light colors (such as yellow) don't always show up well when printed on some laser printers.
To Change the Letter Key in an Inspection Icon: after you've placed the icon using the Ctrl-Z technique, click on the ICON itself, using the mouse. Hit the DEL
key to eliminate the letter, then retype the appropriate letter while the icon is still selected. Remember to use upper case letters for clarity.
Note: if you don't want to use the Control-Z shortcut, it is possible to use Excel's Copy/Paste mechanism to place icons in the operation columns. If you do so, it
is VERY IMPORTANT though that you copy the CELL, not just the GRAPHIC. Click IN THE CELL containing a graphic, but NOT ON THE GRAPHIC - when the
whole cell is selected, you may hit Edit/Copy, or Control-C to perform the copy operation.
Note: please to not drag and/or move graphical icons within the cells.
Now move your cursor up to one of the graphic icons you wish to connect to. When you're hovering near it, several little blue dots will appear on the periphery of
the icon - these represent potential "connection points". Move the mouse over the connection point you wish to use, then depress the left button on your mouse.
Continue to hold the button while you drag the mouse towards the icon you want to connect to. When you get there, hover over the desired blue dot on THAT
icon, then release the button to create the line.
To Change the Arrows on the Ends of the Line: if you need to remove arrows or add arrows to either end of an already placed line, left-click on the line using
the mouse. Notice that the line gets little red boxes at the ends, and a little yellow diamond in the middle. When you see these, right-click with your mouse while
still keeping the cursor over the line. You'll see a flyup menu which has "Format Autoshapes" on it. Left-click on the "Format Autoshapes" entry and you'll see a
dialog box which has options for changing the arrows. The "Beginning" end of the line is the end which you drew first, the "Ending" end of the line is the other
end...
To Change the Line Style or Color: You can change the color and/or width of the lines, and make them dashed or solid by following the same procedure noted
above for Changing the Arrows. You'll see options for line style in the dialog box.
Remember that color is a useful tool for helping with understanding, but MANY PEOPLE DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO COLOR PRINTERS, so use it sparingly
and make sure that the document is understandable when printed in black and white.
Line Widths: When you make lines (especially dashed ones) remember that not all printers are good at printing narrow lines. It is advisable to use line weights of
0.75 or more, especially for colored lines.
Adjusting Line Shapes: Excel usually picks a pretty good path for the line. You can adjust it a little bit by selecting the line (see above), then dragging the yellow
diamond to move the line. Sideways movements work pretty well, up-and-down movements are less helpful.
To Delete a line: To delete a line, left-click on the line using the mouse. Notice that the line gets little red boxes at the ends, and a little yellow diamond in the
middle. When you see these, hit the DELETE key on your keyboard. The line will go away.
