As Nate mentioned you can use Excel for diagramming but I kinda prefer a dedicated drawing program. Maybe that's just me

You're spot on there. Why use Excel as a text editor?

an actual recent conversation: <dl><dt>__coworker__</dt><dd>"Greg, how do I get those little connector lines to attach from one box to the other on my flowchart?</dd><dd>__me__</dd><dl>"Just use the connectors from the drawing toolbars. If you grab the top and drag you can float the bar."</dl><dd>__coworker__</dd><dl>"Yeah, I tried that, but it's not working right. It's not snapping to the box."</dl><dd>__me__</dd><dl>Takes a look. "Well, that would be because the boxes on your "flowchart" are outlined cells and not actual flowchart shapes. Just curious, you have PowerPoint, why didn't you just use that?"</dl><dt>__coworker__</dt><dd>"'cause it's just so much easier to type the text into Excel."</dd></dl>
