Working With Connectors

Overview

Imagine a person spending hours working on a flowchart for new authors detailing the process a manuscript goes through from submission to publication at the company. The next day, he or she finds out that the process has been changed: roles have been added and certain steps have been combined or switched. The person is going to need to update the chart to reflect these changes. In the past, this would have required painstakingly moving the shapes and the lines connecting them separately. By using connectors in Visio 2003 - special lines that stay "Glued" to shapes - one can move the shapes and the lines at once, quickly and easily updating the flowchart.
