Simple State Diagram flow chart in Visio?

[jeffscharpf]

I am trying to make a very simple State Chart Diagram in Visio.
I'm not sure if I should just use the basic flow chart or not, as I'm not
familar with UML.
I simply want to describe a software program that will move two one of four
"states" based on some conditions, then loop back around.

I am not opposed to just making a flow chart but was hoping to make it look
a little more "professional" using a State Diagram.

The examples seem rather complicated, I don't want to have to define
variables and all that using UML, I just want to show the four "states" or
"steps" of the program. In each step there will be some control and feedback,
and decisions made based on values on whether or not to move to the next
state...

Anyone have any samples?

Use the Data Flow Diagram shapes.
