How to insert a flowchart into Word as editable shapes

Drawing a flowchart with Word’s own tools is a pain of drifting arrows. A pasted image can’t be edited and makes work look rushed. rombik exports a .docx where the shapes are native Word objects — move, label and edit them right in the document. Below: the difference shown visually and a step-by-step guide.

A picture vs native shapes

The same chart inserted two ways. A pasted image can’t be touched; native shapes behave like anything you draw in Word.

Step by step

  1. 1
    Generate the chart

    Paste code (10 languages) into rombik and get a standards-compliant flowchart in seconds.

  2. 2
    Export to Word

    Pick the Word (.docx) format. The file opens in Word or LibreOffice with each shape a separate object.

  3. 3
    Edit right in Word

    Move a block, change a label, add a note — no re-generation, no image editor.
