Re: Best way to create a flowchart in FM 5.5?

["Jerilynne Sander" <jsander@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I, for one, can vouch for these primitives. I've been able to create a lot
of flow diagrams using cross-references to other text areas and just plain
diagrams that size quite nicely.


Looking forward to serving you

Yes, there's a better way.

When you install FrameMaker there is a folder called Clipart that has a file
in it containing flowchart primitives. The file is called Flowchart.fm
