Data Flow Diagram - Batch Total

[Tony]

I am preparing my Presentation by using the PowerPoint and adding some Data
Flow Chat. But there are some symbols are missing (e.g. Batch Total and
Annotation or Flow of Goods). Could someone advise me how to get the full
DFD symbols. Thank you very much.

The easiest way (IMHO) would be to use a program that does this all the
time, instead of PowerPoint's part-time version of it. Don't get me wrong,
PowerPoint is the answer to presentations, but it does not do everything
better than something else.

You may want to build the diagrams in Visio or another diagramming tool,
then import them into PowerPoint as Graphics files. PowerPoint allows for
most graphics formats to be shown, to take advantage of other program's
strengths.

Thanks Bill, but I don't have Visio. Is there any other opinion or that is
the dead end.


Thanks

Hi Tony

I found this document which contains the symbols I think you are after -
they look like they were 'hand made' to me:

Might be worth a look about on WikiCommons too:
