COURSE TEXT

Imagine that you've spent a lot of time creating a detailed flowchart. Each shape is exactly where you want it, the lines that connect the shapes are perfectly placed, and it's ready for your team to review.

Now imagine it's the day after that review. Considering the feedback from your team, you want to move some of the shapes. For each shape you move, you might think that you also need to move the lines connecting the shapes.

Fortunately, in Visio you don't have to make all that extra effort. Visio uses a special kind of line to keep shapes connected even when you move them around.

This course will teach you the basics of connecting shapes in Visio. Soon you'll be able to create and update drawings quickly and easily with Visio connectors.
