I have been told that I can program Visio to print a
statement in a word document by clicking on a flow chart
box. Can this be done and how do I perform this function?

Automation is the word. This can be done between any applications that
support automation, which is just about all of them nowadays. You can send
data to and receive data from Word, Excel, Powerpoint, Visio, etc. by the
use of VBA or any number of programming languages. Visio comes with numerous
examples and the document "Developing Visio Solutions" goes into pretty good
detail, if you are any good with VBA programming. To actually give you code
to do it is probably beyond the scope of this newsgroup, but any number of
people can give you advice if you already know how to get started.
