I want to diagram a site maps from a bunch of websites.

The site maps are in text format. I could easily put them in Excel.

I would like to take either one of those formats, and automatically create a
flow chart from them.

For example, the text:
Home Page
- About Us
- Products
-- Soup
-- Coffee
-- Etc
- Services
-- System Integration
-- Waxing
-- Car Washing

Would become a flow chart. Is there a way to do this?

I would suspect that a 'flow chart' might not be the optimum way to do this
without custom code. You might consider an ' org chart' as an alternative
since a lot of what you are attempting to describe is hierarchial in nature.
The org chart wizard help facility can explain how you might want to
describe the parent/child relationships within the spreadsheet. Of course if
you have visio pro you can use the web site map tool.

Hi Al,

I just noticed the website import tool. Thank you.

Is there a way to optimize it to show the basic site hierarchy? Everything
I try results in a monstrously big hierarchy. Even changing levels and
reducing which page elements are added.

Thank you,
- Pete
