We often need to paint various Flowcharts in the office routine. In WPS Writer, we can make flowcharts easily with the Insert Shapes function.

There are many kinds of flowcharts. Today, we will give an example to  illustrate better.

Step one, insert a drawing canvas.

Click Insert, then click Shapes and select New Drawing Canvas to add one.

A great benefit is that we can drag the canvas directly to move the flowchart.

You can drag the position of the canvas only if the canvas is set to a text wrapping mode other than In Line with Text.

Step two, insert shapes.

Every symbol in a flowchart has its meaning. You'd better pick them up carefully. I will list a few important and commonly-used symbols to illustrate.

Click Insert, then click Shapes. Go to Flowchart to pick and drag the shapes you want on the canvas.

Here, I will introduce two shortcuts with you. Repeated click for Insert is unnecessary  data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/734aef7f1aa5709e2c5ff8f6520c5e02_0.38_7716.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

Select the shape, then press Ctrl and drag it to copy shapes continuously.

Hold down the Ctrl and Shift keys and drag the shap data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/0240917f347286cf33680cef333b6abe_0.38_6073.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

Step three: Insert Lines

Next, we need to insert lines and connect them with shapes in series to form a complete process.

Click Shapes, then click Linesand move the mouse to the top data-imgw=720 data-imgh=405 data-src="//res-academy.cache.wpscdn.com/images/f3d23d12588821aff466260c991416b7_0.38_3617.gif" data-test="skks" style="max-width: 100%; width: 720px; max-height: 405px; height: calc(100vw *(405/720)); text-align:center;" >

You can also customize the style of lines. Select the line and click Formatting on the right. Here, we can change the thickness and color of the line.

After setting, we can also set it as default, and right-click to select Set as Default Shape so the lines inserted later will apply this style.

Similarly, the inserted shape can be set in the same way as required.

Step four, insert text.

Finally, we can add a text description to the shape. Right-click the shape and select Add Textto enter the text.

We can adjust the alignment to make these shapes more attractive.

We may find it difficult to select multiple shapes at once. What should we do?

You can click the Home tab, then click Select and Select Object to pick shapes.

Finally, set the alignment method to Align Center.
