Can I make a list and then convert it to a process flow in Visio?

[Kim]

I have a list of tasks and would like to make a process flow. Is there a way
to do that electronically or do I have to enter each individually?

One approach would be to use the data linking tools of Visio 2007. You can
link to your task list and then associate the data rows with process shapes
in the drawing.

Link the data first and then select the Process shape in the stencil. Drag
each row of data (or multiple rows at a time) into the drawing. A new
process shape will be added for each row and the data will be copied into the
process shape.
