Viso Shapes Meanings

[Jen in Alton]

Can anyone tell me where to find a listing of the "meanings" for Visio
shapes? I'm using 2003, and can't seem to find it anywhere. I'd like to have
a reference as to which shape should be used in which situation.
Thanks in advance!

would you like to give us a clue as to what you are doing and what shapes
you are using? (I use a network version with about 15000 shapes)

Mainly, this would be for procedural flowcharts. I know the 'basics'
(Process, Decision, Manual Operation, Manual Input, etc.), but there are so
many more shapes even on the "Basic Flowchart Shapes" Stencil, I was
wondering where I could find out what they would be used for. Can't seem to
find it in Help...

that's because MS doesn't own flowcharting, it's a set of standard(?)
implementations. try over here for a start.
